ECET 227 Professor Nawrocki Lab 01 Wall-Warts Report 1/12/2024 Objectives The Goal of this laboratory experiment is to use the function generator to produce a specified logic and sine wave, and investigate the unloaded and loaded voltage, current, and waveforms from two 120 V AC input plug-in wall-warts. Approach and Results 1. Function Generator and Oscilloscope Familiarization In this procedure a BNC-BNC cable from the oscilloscope’s CH1 is connected to the Sync connector of the function generator. The other end of the BNC-BNC cable is connected to CH3 of the function generator. The oscilloscope was turned on and the default setup was pressed. A sine wave was produced with a frequency of 1 kHz and 3.5 V RMS . Figure 1.1 shows the waveforms created as well as their measurements. Figure 1.1 Waveforms and measurements Page 1 of 5

The following circuit in Figure 2.1 was created with a 1-amp fuse, two banana grippers for connections from the load box and a BNC- BNC was used to power the circuit. Professor R. Nawrocki.

January 12, 2024 Figure 2.1 Wall-wart Test Circuit The given load box had a maximum load resistance of 131 Ohms. We measured our wall- warts with Rloads of 33, 68, 101, 131 Ohms respectively. The data collected from wall-wart A is shown in Table 1 and Table 2 and the oscilloscope output is in Figure 2.2 and the data from wall-wart C is shown in Table 3 and Table 4 the oscilloscope output is in Figure 2.3 Table 1 Wall-wart A Letter Code A Model WAU16-1000 + Output (Center, Outer, Na) Center Signal Type (AC) Voltage (V) Current (A) Input AC 120 Output AC 16 100mA Page 2 of 5

ECET 227 Professor Nawrocki Lab 01 Wall-Warts Report 1/12/2024 1. The reasoning you need actual component values next to the circuit schematic to make sure that you have the correct components as well as to see the differences between the real and theoretical values of the components. For those following your work they will also be able to see how you got your results. 2. A. The major difference between these two wall-warts is that wall-wart A is an Alternating Current power supple while wall-wart C is a DC power supply. Wall-wart A output was around 18 Volts while Wall-wart C was a near stable 12 Volts. Both of these power supplies were center output as well. B. 1. Power a Arduino i. Wall-wart C is best suited to an Arduino because they are designed to be powered by 12 Volts DC. 2. Create a Low Frequency Tone i. The DC wall-wart would be better suited for this task due to outputting a constant voltage. 3. Drive an electric drill motor i. Wall-wart C would be the best option due to most electric drills running off DC motors as well as being able to supple a constant voltage allowing the drill to constantly run. Page 5 of 5
