To protect electronic circuits, some voltage regulators have a circuit built into them.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Some voltage regulators have a ____ circuit built into them”.

Answer to Problem 1SA

To protect electronic circuits, some voltage regulators have a fail safe circuit built into them.

Explanation of Solution

Voltage regulators are used to control and maintain the voltage at a constant level. It regulates the charging voltage of alternator. Some voltage regulators have a fail-safe circuit built into them that protects the electronic components. This fail-safe circuit protects the electronic components from high voltage output.

Conclusion:

Thus, to protect electronic circuits, some voltage regulators have a fail safe circuit built into them.
