The function of a voltage regulator is to maintain a constant DC voltage at the output irrespective of voltage fluctuations at the input and (or) variations in the load current. In other words, voltage regulator produces a regulated DC output voltage. Introduction to Regulators required function. The vendor and the customer, working together, have the task of deciding which of the available regulators is best suited for the job at hand. The selection procedure is essentially a process of elimination wherein the answers to a series of questions narrow the choice down to a specific regulator . Regulator (automatic control), a device that maintains a designated characteristic, as in: Battery regulator Pressure regulator Diving regulator Voltage regulator Regulator (sewer), a control device used in a combined sewer system Regulator (timepiece), a device in mechanical timepieces attached to the balance spring for adjusting the rate of the balance wheel Regulator precision pendulum clock, originally used as a time-standard for adjusting or regulating other clocks and watches Regulator ... Regulator (automatic control ) Single-stage pressure regulator In automatic control, a regulator is a device which has the function of maintaining a designated characteristic. It performs the activity of managing or maintaining a range of values in a machine.
