Question

A DC voltage supply in the main photon torpedo battery of a planet-class light cruiser, the Arcturus, is rated at 2.18 megavolts at 0.18 amperes with a ripple factor of 0.1% and regulation of 0.05%. Assuming any ripple is due solely to a 400 Hertz sinusoid, calculate: a. the maximum RMS value of the ripple voltage, $V_{AC}$. b. the no-load voltage of the power supply.

Step 1

To calculate the maximum RMS value of the ripple voltage, we need to first find the peak-to-peak ripple voltage. The ripple factor is given as 0.1%, which means the peak-to-peak ripple voltage is 0.1% of the DC voltage supply. Peak-to-peak ripple voltage = Show more…
