Active regulators

Active regulators

Because they (essentially) dump the excess current not needed by the load, shunt regulators are inefficient and only used for low-power loads. When more power must be supplied, more sophisticated circuits are used. In general, these can be divided into several classes:
  1. Linear regulators
  2. Switching regulators
  3. SCR regulators
