Introductory Message

This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can
continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as
you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM.
This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to
ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the
lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check
your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you
will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also provided to
our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can best help
you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this
SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And read
the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the tasks in
this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.

What’s New

The power supply can be defined as it is an electrical device used to give electrical
supply to electrical loads. The main function of this device is to change the electrical
current from a source to the accurate voltage, frequency and current to supply the
load. Sometimes, these power supplies can be named to as electric power
converters. Some types of supplies are separate pieces of loads, whereas others are
fabricated into the appliances that they control.

In this module you will learned what are the tools and equipment use in power supply
assembly.?

 What is It

1. Battery source power supply

What the different kinds of power supply?
- It uses simply battery composed of several cells to produce the desired
voltage and current for the proper functioning of the load.
In a power system that uses cells it component are simply the battery holders
and conductive wire and a connector. The connector is either a plug or a clip
that is use to connect to the load circuit.

In large lead acid battery, the most important equipment are the conductive
wires and the connectors. To achieve the desired voltage just simply connect
the batteries in series. Example your load is 36 volt, simply connect three
twelve volt batteries in series. 12+ 12+12= To increase the current, connect
batteries of the same voltage in parallel circuit.

Unregulated Linear Power Supply
The main parts of and AC/DC power supply are the following
1. The step down transformer – The main function of this electronic parts or
components is to reduce the voltage to desired level. Its primary winding
is greater than the secondary thus secondary voltage is much, much
lower than the primary voltage.

Step-down Transformer
http://lcmagnetics.blogspot.com/2013/12/dual-secondary-winding-transformer-6.html

2. The next electronic part or component is rectifier diode. The main function
of rectifier diode is to let only the positive current to pass through and
block the negative thus it produces a pulsating positive current.

Rectifier Diode
https://www.elprocus.com/rectifier-diode-working-applications/

3. The third important component of a power supply is the electrolytic

capacitor. Its main function is to filter the leakage AC current thus more or
less the output current in now a DC Current

Electrolytic Capacitors
https://www.elprocus.com/what-is-electrolytic-capacitor-construction-symbols-
adavantages/

Now you can assemble your power supply. The desired power output depends on
the transformer you will use for this diagram below.

Attach the transformer on the back of an aluminum chasses like the picture below.
Drill it properly as to match the holes of the transformer. Screw it tightly.

Attach the terminal block strips inside of the aluminum chasses.Bend the two end
terminal and screw it tightly in the chasses.

Now you can attach the diode, capacitor and the wire jumpers on this terminal strip
by soldering it properly. Connect the circuit following the diagram above.

Other Electronics Parts Use in Power Supply System.

1. Crystal Diode still can be use as rectifier in some power supply circuit design,
like in the circuit diagram below. Still the main components are the
transformer, the rectifier diode in bridge circuit, the capacitors and crystal
diodes and the rotary switch which is use as voltage selector.
