Sir, I have doubt in this example 3, Can you please explain me. As vin is increasing from 20-30 volts Can you tell what is the value of load current and zener current when Vin=25 volts?

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 3 года назад

@@sandeepmukhrjee2476 If Vin is 25V fixed voltage, then Is = 19.2 mA. Zener Knee Current is 0.5 mA. Therefore, maximum load current is 19.2 mA - 0.5 mA = 18.6 mA.

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS No no sir...you got me wrong, I am not changing any statement of the question. I am saying, as it is mentioned that Vin is increasing from 20 to 30 volts. So, when Vin=20 volts then, then Iz = 0.5 and IL = 13.7 When Vin=30 then Iz= 10.5 and IL= 13.7 And when Vin=25 then Iz= 5.5 and IL= 13.7 Does this mean IL is fixed ? Is my above analysis is correct?

Iz=0.5mA and IL = 13.7mA Although it is less than the maximum value but it can flow through load. Right?

@arpitamunsi1332 2 года назад

@ 5:30 why the maximum ('worst possible case') zener current has been considered for calculating minimum power rating of the zener diode?

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 2 года назад

The minimum power rating is the minimum required power rating of the Zener diode with which it will work with the given load and voltages. That means whatever Zener Diode we select, it should be able to withstand the worst possible case current. If its power rating is more than that, then definitely it will work in the given circuit. I hope, it will clear your doubt.

@googlearthtest12 Год назад

What would happen (w.r.t Example 1) if we select RL less than its minimum value (125 ohm). Let's say we connect RL with value of 90 ohm, what would happen to Vz? Will it remain 5V or drop? 2. What would happen (w.r.t Example 1) if we put 3v LED as RL in the circuit?? What would now be the voltage across zener diode (Vz) ?

@vishalk8008 4 года назад

in example 3 why didnt u take the maximum value of load current as 23.7A? i didn't understand that part if we take 23.7 as maximum anything below that current can also exist as make the zener to function properly right

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 4 года назад

As, I mentioned at 13:50, if we select 23.7 mA as the maximum load current then the circuit won't work when the input voltage is 20V. Because at that time, the supply current Is is 14.2 mA (which is less than 23.7 mA). During the design, the max. allowable current should be such that the circuit should work properly for the entire input range. For example, if we connect the load according to 23.7 mA ( 5.8V/ 23.7 mA), then the circuit will work at 30V, but it won't work at 20V. Because the supply itself is less than 23.7 mA. So, with that design, if we select the min value of the load or max. allowable current (for regulated output voltage), then the circuit won't work at 20V. I hope it will clear your doubts.

@vishalk8008 4 года назад

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS does it mean that the current through zener must be equal to or greater than max current? If this is so then y is it called max current?

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 4 года назад

See, when we say max.current, it's the max. current which is allowed through he zener diode to work it properly as zener regulator. Similarly when we say, max. Load current, it's the max.allowable current through the load which will ensure that the zener diode operates as a voltage regulator. The current through either zener diode or the load should be less than the max. limit.

Previous video, RLmin = (Rs*Vz)/(Vs-Vz) = 100 Ohm .. What happened? Both seem logical to me hence the confusion.

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 5 лет назад

In the previous video, during all the examples it was assumed that the Zener Knee Current is Zero. (Izk = 0). But here it is non-zero. In this example, if you consider Izk = 0, then you will get 100 Ohm. I hope it will clear your doubt.

@indeedhid380 5 лет назад

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS Thank you!

@indeedhid380 5 лет назад

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS So if I had a non negligible resistance (i.e not this video), it'd become correct just by using Vz+Rz*Izk instead of Vz. Else if the resistance is negligible but we have a knee current, I should analyse the circuit for the minimum values using currents because elsewise I'd loose the Izk since Rz is null right? Please correct me if I am wrong.

@bhartibhatia2232 7 месяцев назад

17:04 i didn't understand that why we chose R for Vin = 30V, why didn't we find R when Vin=50 v?

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 7 месяцев назад

Our aim is, the value of R should be such that, the circuit should work properly as a Zener Regulator. Here, IL is fixed and Izk is fixed. So, we know the minimum required current Is (Is min). With our selected value of R, if we are able to get Is (min), then the circuit will work properly for higher supply currents. At that time, the current through the Zener diode will be Is - IL. So, here for the given value of R, the minimum value of Is will occur when Vin is minimum. That is 30V. And that's why, the value of R is found when Vin = 30V. If the circuit works properly when Vin = 30V, it will also work when Vin = 50V. I hope, it will clear your doubt.

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 4 года назад

I think you are talking about the current Is right ?? It has been found using the nodal analysis method. The voltage at the twp node is known. (Vs and Vz). The current which is flowing through the resistor is equal to (Vs - Vz) / R. I hope it will clear your doubt.

@gopalk371 2 года назад

One question , in the first example how to find the RL max ?

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 2 года назад

To find the RL (max), first Iz (max) should be known. That is the maximum Zener current which Zener Diode can withstand. In this case, it is not given. But if it is given then considering that value of Iz, you can find the maximum value. I think I have already covered one such example. Please check the diode and diode application playlist. You will find it there. In case, if it is not covered then let me know. I will surely cover it on the second channel.

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 4 года назад

Here the minimum power rating refers to the minimum power rating required of the Zener Diode such that, it can operate with the given configuration of the supply voltage and the resistors. That means the selected Zener diode should have the max. power rating of at least Pz min (which is found in the example). I hope it will clear your doubt.

If the series resistance of the Zener diode is assumed to be zero , then yes output voltage is equal to Zener voltage. Unless the series resistance is specified, Vout = Vz when Zener diode is operating in the breakdown region.

Please clear my doubt at 14:16 how to choose answer

@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS 2 года назад

First we have calculated the minimum value of the series current which is supplied by the source. Even at the minimum current, the circuit should work. From that, the zener knee current was subtracted, because that much current is required to operate the zener diode. And the remaining current is available for the load. So, the remaining current ( Is - Izk) is the maximum current which can flow through the load. Or in other words, while selecting the load resistance, its value should be such that, the current through the load is not more than 13.7 mA. If it is more than that then circuit will not be able to supply that much current. ( When it is operating at 20 V). Of course it can supply that current at 30 V, but during the design we should always consider the worst case scenario. I hope, it will clear your doubt. If you still have any doubt then let me know here.

The direct forumla is applicable when it is assumed that Izk is negligible. Here, the value of Izk is given. So, if you consider the Izk then you will get 125 ohm. In the question if Izk is not given then you can assume it zero. And you can apply the direct formula. If it is given, then you can solve as shown in the first example.
