How to Improve the performances of DC Power supplies & DC motors

Image
Basically  a DC power supply consists of following - Step down transformer Rectifier ( Bridge Connection) Filter Regulator Regulated DC output A standard, general purpose 24V-5Amp power supply is available at Lamington Road, Mumbai. But it consists of only first three elements of power supply i.e. Step down transformer, Rectifier                              (Bridge Connection) and Filter. If you check its rating using a Multimeter, you will find that its actual Voltage Rating & current Rating  is something beyond the specified values. Its actually 35V (DC) 2Amp along with a comparable value of AC voltage !!  This AC is enough to hamper the performances of the DC devices (mostly DC Motors) which are powered using these messed up power supplies ( It cannot be called blunder as it is serving its purpose of giving DC output ).  As the 'DC' Motors run on DC power, the AC voltage does not fit in the bargain, and hence needs to be restrained. And that can
