the
POWER-PSD-15 is an Electronics
board
that allows you to connect 24V AC Center Trace (TC) or +/-17
to +/- 24VDC on one side of the board
and get dual regulated voltages, 15VDC and -15VDC on the other side. Every
industrial application designer should
have a few of these boards handy. The boards will allow you to
easily power all your Industrial Op-Amp transducers. The Terminal Block TB
connector is included and makes it easy to use.
The
POWER-PSD15 board is designed to convert low voltages Ac or DC to stabilize
+/- 15V DC. If used properly, it will eliminate the need for
expensive industrial power supplies, which would otherwise be needed to carry out the same
task.
POWER-PSD15
is easy to install, setup and
operate. If you want to professionally power your HVAC products,
POWER-PSD15
offers the features you need. Mounted easily via three 0.125" mounting
holes.
The
board is designed to attenuate, filter and regulate low voltage DC or AC to
stable +/-15V DC.

Basic
operation of the voltage regulator board
The
diodes
bridge D1-D4, together with the capacitor C1-C4, will convert input
dual AC voltages to dual DC voltages. Additionally, the diode bridge ensures that the
polarity of the bridge output remains the same, regardless of the
input voltage polarity.
The
other side of the diodes bridge drives the voltage regulators U1
and U2.
The voltage regulators are the main component of this kit (regulators). Usually
having three legs, it converts
varying input voltages and produces a constant regulated output
voltage. They are available in a variety of outputs. The most common part numbers
of the regulator starts with the numbers 78 or 79, and finish
with two digits, indicating the output voltage. The number 78
represents positive voltage, and 79 a negative one. The 78XX series
of voltage regulators are designed for positive input. And the
79XX series is designed for negative input. The LM78XX and the LM79XX series typically has the ability to drive currents up to
800mA.
Application requirements up to 150mA, 78LXX and 79LXX can be used. As mentioned
above, the component has three legs: Input leg which can hold up to
36VDC (we recommend not to exceed 24V), Common leg (GND) and an output leg with the regulator's
voltage (positive voltage for the LM78XX and negative for the
LM79XX). For maximum voltage regulation, adding capacitors C2,C5
and C3,C6 correspondingly in parallel between the common leg and the output is usually
recommended. C3,C6 a 0.1MF capacitor is used. This eliminates any high frequency AC
voltage that could otherwise combine with the output voltage.
See below circuit diagram for the kit.
Final
Note: As a general rule the input voltage should be limited to 2 to 3 volts
above the output voltage (LM78XX series) and 2 to 3 volts below the output
voltage (LM78XX series). The LM78XX series can handle up to 36
volts input and the LM79XX -36 volts, be advised that the power difference between the input
and output appears as heat. If the input voltage is
unnecessarily high, the regulator will overheat. Unless
sufficient heat dissipation is provided, through heat slinking
(optional), the regulator will shut
down.
Due
to the regulator construction difference, use dual heat-sink
(optional if needed),
one for the LM78XX, and one to the LM79XX.
