Thank you for the time spent here for us!❤

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.

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

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!

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

Good explanation. Thanks for this video.

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

[@vutuandathd]

Thank you. It is easy to understan.

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

[@MrDoneboy]

Another excellent explanation, Bob!
