Question:

What is the difference between regulated power supplies and regulators?

In daily life, sometimes voltage, unstable, want to buy a regulator, do not know what to buy, I would like to ask the next regulator power supply and regulator What is the difference between them, what are their own use The If possible, explain as much as possible.

Answer:

The voltage of the power adapter in the case of no load is higher, if you pick up the load will find its voltage will come down, it is due to its own role is limited, just to provide a suitable voltage to the load , And the main role of the regulator is the regulator, it will be through its voltage stability in a certain range, more or less than this value it has action, the power adapter will not have this effect. These two can be distinguished according to the use of the situation, if it is in the load power requirements are not high places can be used with each other, but if the load on the power requirements are relatively high, even if the 1V voltage changes are not OK, then you must use the regulator , Otherwise do not burn the load also burn power.
Can provide a stable voltage output are called power supply, also known as power regulator, referred to as the regulator. By use is divided into; AC power supply and DC power supply
Ups is called uninterruptible power supply, that is when the electricity blackout, ups can give the device power for some time. The time of this power supply depends on the battery configuration of the UPS power supply. Regulator is in the case of unstable voltage in the city to play a regulator effect so called the regulator, can not play any delay effect. UPS in the case of undervoltage, overvoltage, power failure, and so many natural disasters can be delayed to the equipment power supply for some time, can have enough time to turn off the equipment, up protection equipment will not burn out due to unstable electricity Precious accessories. Resulting in financial loss of the company. During this period the UPS power supply is also a regulator which can be used in the case of unstable voltage supply, but the general regulator range is limited. Advantages of regulators and UPS power supplies: Regulator in the power of the function of the efficiency will be much higher than the UPS, is the same load the same power ups and regulators, power consumption than the ups of their own power consumption is much smaller. And the price of the regulator than the ups price is much lower. UPS uninterruptible power supply with a regulator function, anti-interference, lightning, load capacity. And in some of the more expensive equipment will be preferred UPS power supply to protect the safe use of equipment
