Advantages and disadvantages of linear power supply
1) Advantages : Little noise because the output waveform
of transformer is sine wave.
2) Disadvantages :
Œ
Additional margin is required because Vs is chan-
ged (depending on power source). (The regulator
loss is caused by margin design).
´
Greater core size and condensor capacity are ne-
eded, because the transformer works on a single
power frequency.
