Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 1SA
To protect electronic circuits, some voltage regulators have a circuit built into them.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Some voltage regulators have a ____ circuit built into them”.
Answer to Problem 1SA
To protect electronic circuits, some voltage regulators have a fail safe circuit built into them.
Explanation of Solution
Voltage regulators are used to control and maintain the voltage at a constant level. It regulates the charging voltage of alternator. Some voltage regulators have a fail-safe circuit built into them that protects the electronic components. This fail-safe circuit protects the electronic components from high voltage output.
Conclusion:
Thus, to protect electronic circuits, some voltage regulators have a fail safe circuit built into them.
