Dual Power Supply +8V /-8V , +12V / -12V
Every electronic gadget primarily needs a D.C, power supply to energise it. It also forms the basic requirement for any constructional project. consequently there is a need to obtain multiple voltage values for cost reduction, convenience and compact arrangement for all the above applications.
The required D.C. power supply is usually obtained by means of a transformer. It is also possible to have transformerÂless power supplies. Though the elimination of the transformer makes the circuit compact, economical and simple, also facilitating quick assembly and built in short circuit protection, certain drawbacks creep in. These power supplies are useful only for low current applications. Special safety precautions ? are to be followed while using them. Physical contact should be strictly avoided, since the output terminals are not isolated from A.C. mains supply. [...]
