Experiment 48: Monitoring Power Supply Noise
Objective: Measure and analyze noise in power supply outputs.
Steps:
- Set up a power supply with a known load (e.g., resistors or a small motor).
- Use an oscilloscope to observe ripple and noise in the voltage output.
- Introduce filtering components (capacitors, inductors) to reduce noise and re-test.
Expected Outcome:
Understand the sources of noise in power supplies and methods to suppress them.
