Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Why is a 5-V regulator included?

E-Field Sensor Contest
Answer: The on-chip regulator provides the sensor with the necessary self-contained 5-V supply. It also offers the designer a means to power external circuitry. This approach eases the design complexity and PCB size concerns.

Question: Why is there no 3.3-V regulator?

E-Field Sensor Contest
Answer: A 5-V regulator was chosen because it remains a popular operating voltage for a wide range of MCUs and components, and because it's the chosen internal voltage for the MC33794 design. A 5-V supply rail has the advantage of outputting a larger detected electric field voltage for digitization by an off-board A/D converter.

What is a Regulator?

Genesis Scuba Dive Institute of Florida - Frequently Asked Q...
The equipment used that permits the diver to breath the air from the air cylinder. The regulator also provides the connection of the SPG and the BCD to the air cylinder. The quality and performance of a regulator is measured by how easy it breathes.

Do I really need a pressure regulator?

DripWorks Frequently Asked Questions
If you're using T-Tape, soaker dripline or Aquapore you will need a regulator. Read the individual product descriptions for pressure recommendations. If you're using pressure compensating emitters, Shrubblers® or misters and have normal pressure you may not need a regulator. If you are using sprayers, you may want to use a pressure regulator to bring the water pressure into the rated range of the sprayer, since they will generally put out more water at higher pressures.

What goes where...(filter/regulator/timer etc.)?

DripWorks Frequently Asked Questions
The setup for a simple drip system coming off a hose bib or faucet is as follows: Timer (optional), filter, pressure regulator, female hose beginning (Easy Loc or Compression), mainline tubing, end.

QUESTION: How can I convert my 6v volt regulator to a 12v?

CJ2A-FAQ
ANSWER: I recently stumbled across an excellent write up on how to build 12V to 6V voltage regulators of different capacities. It's a top-notch article. Check it out at:

Question: How much 5-V current can the MC33794's on-chip regulator deliver?

E-Field Sensor Contest
Answer: The 5-V regulator's capability is limited by the maximum sustained power dissipation of the package. Soldering the MC33794 exposed backside pad to copper cladding on the mounting side of a PCB for heatsinking purposes allows the maximum available current to be drawn-limited by the temperature rise. Do not exceed the part's thermal rating.

QUESTION: I am installing a Ford alternator and external voltage regulator. How do I wire them?

CJ2A-FAQ
All of the above wires carry relatively little current. A #14 wire (check the package at the parts store) will be plenty heavy for these wires. Ground - There should be a #14 wire from this connection to one of the mounting screws on the base of the voltage regulator. You will need to make the following connections in addition to the above.

K) What is a voltage regulator?

PV FAQ - PhotoVoltaic Frequently Questioned Answers
A voltage regulator, aka a charge controller, is a device in a photovoltaic system which prevents over charging (aka 'cooking') batteries. Depending upon the sophistication of the unit, it may also prevent over-discharge of the batteries and reverse charging of the cells.

What is an industry regulator?

Electricity Commission - Frequently asked questions - rules ...
A regulator is an organisation that controls or supervises an industry or practice by way of rules or regulations. The Electricity Commission regulates the operation of the electricity industry and its wholesale and retail markets in accordance with the Electricity Act and government energy policy.

Why is a regulator required?

FAQ's Cairns Solar Equipment - Solahart hot water systems, g...
Unless you are using less than two solar panels a regulator will be required to prevent the battery from being over charged. Modern regulators are extremely intelligent and can ensure that your battery is receiving the appropriate amount of charge to maximise its life. BP Solar has a range of regulators to suit differing applications.

WHO IS THE REGULATOR, AND WHAT IS ITS ROLE?

The National Pension Commission is charged with the regulation and supervision of the pension schemes as well as the powers to formulate, direct and oversee the overall policy on pension matters in Nigeria.

Why is the regulator vented?

Frequently Asked Questions - Fisher Regulators
Diaphragms leak a small amount due to migration of gas through the diaphragm material. Casing vents (where provided) should remain open to gas to escape.

Why is a regulator needed?

ICTA :: INFORMATION & COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY AUTHORIT...
In any newly liberalised market, the incumbent telecommunications provider has an enormous advantage over new entrants: it initially has all the customers and owns the entire infrastructure. The company, left unchecked, has the incentive and, in most instances, the ability to drive new entrants out of the marketplace. Under such circumstances, the development and sustainability of competition is seriously impeded, if not impossible.

Why does my regulator freeze up when using the 16oz cylinders?

Portable Heater Frequently Asked Questions: PatioHeater.info
The propane tank is connected directly to the regulator instead of hose. Connect a hose between the regulator and tank, which will allow the cold propane to heat up a little.
