How does a regulated DC power supply work?
In this lab you will construct a regulated DC power supply to provide a low-ripple adjustable dual-output voltage in the range ±9-12 VDC at 0.5 Amps (maximum) load current from a 120 V AC power outlet. This will be used to provide power to parts of the ultrasonic transceiver system that you will construct in later labs.
How is a DC power supply used in a lab?

How many amps does a DC power supply have?
1 Laboratory 1 Regulated DC Power Supply In this lab you will construct a regulated DC power supply to provide a low-ripple adjustable dual-output voltage in the range ±9-12 VDC at 0.5 Amps (maximum) load current from a 120 V AC power outlet.
What does the rating on a DC power supply look like?
DC supply rating label Most power supplies have a rating label that looks something like the one in Figure 2. Make sure you know the polarity of the plug so you don’t reverse polarity for your circuit and damage your components.
How can you tell the difference between AC and DC power?
DC power can be identified through a combined plus and minus sign, a straight line/s, or a dotted line. Unlike AC power, DC power won’t cycle back to where it started from, thus the frequency of its electric cycle is invalid or zero. Note: DC is usually found stored in batteries that can reach up to 12 volts…
Where does the fluid go in a DC power unit?
When Cylindrical Coil (On LSV2-08-4CO) is activated, the Directional Control Valve (LSV2-08-4CO) shifts allowing fluid to travel through the Normally Closed 2-Way section of the Load Holding Valve (LSPC-08-4-00) & out Port A of Manifold which will extend cylinder.
How can I check the voltage of my DC power supply?
Turn on your multimeter and set it to read DC voltage. Take the red (positive) probe from your multimeter and stick it into the end of the power supply plug. Take the black (negative) probe from your multimeter and carefully touch it against the barrel of the plug without touching the tip or your red probe.
