RE: Can choke be used for power voltage regulation ?







A choke in a CLC filter will reduce ripple but not regulate the voltage.

A critical inductance input choke filter will yield a supply with inherently better voltage regulation vs. a capacitor input filter but still not close to what can be achieved with active regulation (series or shunt).

A large final capacitor will lower the AC impedance of the supply and have the effect of voltage regulation against periodic load current fluctuations as caused in Class A circuits.
