ET 205 - Power Supply Theory and Repair
Credits: 1-4
Description
The course covers the theory, operation, troubleshooting, and repair of unregulated, series linear and switching power supplies. A basic understanding of DC circuit theory and a rudimentary understanding of AC from work experience is recommended for students of this course.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Analyze and compare the operation of half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuits.
- Evaluate the operation and performance of voltage multiplier and voltage regulator circuits.
- Assess how input transformer selection affects the performance of various types of power supplies.
- Analyze the functional operation of a series-pass power supply.
- Diagnose faults in a series-pass power supply using test data and observed circuit behavior.
- Analyze the operation of a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) power supply, including switching and duty-cycle effects.
- Diagnose problems in a pulse-width-modulation power supply and justify corrective actions.
- Analyze the operation of a PRM power supply and interpret its regulation method.
- Diagnose faults in a PRM power supply using systematic troubleshooting procedures.
