2. Although not a popular design, some power supply circuits are transformer less. Direct rectification of AC line power is a viable option in some applications: Plug Load However, this form of AC-to-DC power conversion has some significant limits. Explain why most power supply circuits utilize a transformer instead of directly rectifying the line power as this circuit does.
