If a manufacturer decribes a power supply transformer as
providing a secondary voltage of 24 volts when connected to
a 240 volts supply, do you think they are refering to the
full load or no load secondary voltage?
Answer Posted / stefan
That is under full load. On no load the voltage may rise by up to 40% (small transformer, some hundred mA), or only 5% (large transformer, tens of Amperes). The manufacturer should be able to give specs about how many % the output voltage will rise at no load.
Diodes, capacitors, etc. of power supplies have to be able to withstand that higher voltage, in case there might be no or only low load on the transformer.

1. for eg, capacitor is used for many purposes(it act as filter, oscillator, bypass capacitor, memory storage etc...) 2. Please tell me some example circuits for different uses of capacitor( whenever and whereever and however we used capacitor as a filter, oscillator tuning etc..) 3. similarly for inductor and resistors(it act as what?) and when and how we want to act as like that?, and how we can used these components depends upon our requirments with example circuits and explanation? design to act as these components depends
