Hello everyone.
I am recently involved in some pnematics work and i need to drive a 2W 24V solenoid valves from the mains.
After choosing a suitable standard 24V output transformer and brigde rectifier. i will need a voltage regulator to regulate it back up to 24V dc due to the loss in the rectifier. However, is there a great loss in power in the regulator and will cause the ouptut power to the valves drop below 2W??
Also, if i need a smoothing capacitor what is the usual process for calculating the required capacitance???
thank you so much for your help!!!
