Hi every one,

What is Peak DC voltage and Average DC voltage?
What is the difference between both?
What is the output of RPS? Peak DC or Average DC Voltage?
 
Thank you all...
soldar:
Peak, average, RMS, etc are mathematical concepts applicable to many magnitudes in engineering.

Have a look here https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/accircuits/average-voltage.html

In any case, the output of a regulated power supply should be stable and so the peak, average, RMS should be pretty much the same ... or you really can't call it "regulated".

E.T.A.: Looking at your pdf attachment I see those are unregulated power supplies.
ArthurDent:
Soldar is correct and here is an oscilloscope display showing the same information. However, depending on whether the rectifier is half or full wave affects the ripple frequency of the output.

For example: 24V transformer with bridge rectifier and  capacitive filter produces,

peak dc voltage : 1.414*24=34V
average voltage :.9* 24=21.6V and difference is nearly 12V. Hence what is the output of Regulated power supplies, Whether Peak voltage DC or average voltage DC?
soldar:
techguru, you need to understand the concepts. Your question as asked makes no sense. If you do not understand the concepts any answer we give you is meaningless. "What is the output of regulated power supplies?" This is a meaningless question. What regulated power supply? It is like asking what is the speed of a car or what is the pressure of a pump. 

So, let's start with this, what regulated power supply are you trying to analyze?
