Perfect explanation, watching for the second time; informative and somehow joyful

Something else to consider with shunt regulator circuits like this is the resistor. At 6 Volts with 1.05 Amps your resistor is going to be dissipating 6.3 Watts!!! Another magic smoke source unless you use a large appropriately sized wire wound resistor.

Great explanation! I have a 10W (36 cell) solar panel that will charge a small 12V battery. To prevent it from overcharge I connected a 15V zener diod as shunt regulator. The diod is 5W and the panel doesn't manage more than 300mA so it should be fine. But I will try the series setup just for fun.

Heck that's why my Zener Diode blew up it's magic smoke when an inline fuse of the load blew because I slipped with a small screwdriver 🥴... Thanks again for a very clear and thorough explanation!

The transition from Zener to serie Regulator is excellent ! Very good explained

Thank you so much for this explanation. I was loosing tracking following the linear power supply series and this extra more detailed explanation made much more sense. Thank you again

Thank you for the time spent here for us!❤

Was it was really clear, I appreciate your explanation very much. Thank you. p.s Actually I am in master studying in engineer of electronics

Thank you sir, great job in explanation supported by calculation.

Another excellent explanation, Bob!

Always take a moment to think about heat and smoking devices at a cost.

Good explanation. Thanks for this video.

Thank you. It is easy to understan.

great explain, thank you, may allah bless you.

❤

ahhh
