| ZENER DIODES: CHARACTERISTICS & TESTING METHODS
|
Objective of this experiment:
1. To draw the characteristics of a zener diode and to investigate its application as a voltage regulator, and determine the range over which the zener diode maintains a constant output voltage.
2. To use zener diode, in a voltage regulator circuit.
3. To demonstrate the ability of the circuit to compensate for input voltage and load variations.
4. To see how the zener diode performs with forward and reverse bias conditions.
5. To calculate the power rating of the zener diode suitable for required load currents.
Built in regulated power supply: + 15V/300mA, -15 V/300mA Input Supply: 230 VAC/50Hz mains operated. Dimension: 27cms x 17cms x 10cms. Weight: 500gms |
