I have received a few emails asking for a transformerless power supply. Here is such a supply. This supply uses no heavy step down transformer and has an extremely low parts count. The circuit can be built very small and can supply small currents for small projects. The major downfall of this supply is that it is not isolated from the AC line and can only supply small currents.

Description
Substitutions
C110.39uF 250V Capacitor
C21220uF 25V Electrolytic Capacitor
D111N4741 11V Zener Diode (See Notes)
BR111 Amp 200V Bridge Rectifier
MISC1Line Cord, Board, Wire, Case

Notes

  1. The value of C1 can be increased to increase the amount of current the circuit can supply. With the values shown, the circuit can supply up to about 15mA. Remember to increase the size of C2 also.
  2. A different value can be used for D1 to increase or decrease the voltage as needed.

  3. Please note that this circuit is not isolated from 120VAC. Because of this, the circuit must be treated with caution and encosed at all times. Do not work on the circuit (or any other circuits attached to it) when it is plugged in.
  4. You may want to add a resisor in series with C1 to limit current if the circuit is plugged in and the mains is at its full voltage.
  5. If you are running the circuit from 220VAC, then use a capacitor rated at greater than 400V for C1.
  6. If you want isolation from the AC line, you can connect up a small isolation transformer at the inputs of the circuit. Small 600ohm:600ohm audio transformers work nicely.

Where standby generators are required to take over, in case of mains supply failure, transformerless supply is used to operate relays. These relays switch over the AC load from the AC mains to the generator and back as required. But the relay coils work on 12 or 24volts DC. These relays are fitted on to the AC Mains supply panel which is accessible to only trained personnel. So the risk is as much as handling the mains equipment only. In such a situation without increasing the risk, the cost benifit is very subsatntial for the equipment manufacturer!

Techineer, First of all great site and thank you for the info. (1)There is one part i dont understand though, why must you place the resistor between C2 and the cathode? And not in series with the capicitor, i may be tired or missing the point but could you please explain the reason? (2)Oke i have got another question can i calculate the resistor simply with u/i=r where U for Europe would be 230 AC and for the US 120 AC and I the current is U/R=I --> (1.4... * volts_ac)/2ðfC1 ? thanx, neonlight

C1 is being used as a current limit and voltage dropping device. The reactance of 0.39 uF capacitor at 60 Hz is 6800 ohms, but it uses no power and does not heat up like a resistor would. The output of this supply will vary widely as more current is drawn from the output, as more voltage will be dropped across C1. To calculate the output voltage, the load current must be known.

NY - To use zener diodes for a 15 volt supply, you should place your resistor between C2 and your zener cathode, then take the load from across the zener. You may appear to have a square wave output if you connect the scope ground to the power supply negative output and use the probe on the positive output. This is because the scope ground is at AC Line Neutral potential, while the negative terminal output of your power supply is not. When you connect the scope ground to the negative terminal, you are shorting out a pair of the rectifier diodes. To properly observe the output requires that you use a dual trace scope set for differential mode (B-A), using ch2 at the neg output and ch1 at the positive output and the scope common connected to the AC Neutral wire. Set both channels for 5 V/div direct coupling.

Just to remember all that this kind of circuit works by capacitive reactance (C1) and is very limited in terms of current that it can supply. The maximum supplied current can be calculated by Ohm's law I = V/R, where I: represents current, V: voltage (mains in this case), and R: resistence (capacitive reactance in this case Xc). Where Xc=1/(2.Pi.f.C), Xc: capacitive reactance; Pi: 3.14; f: frequency; C: capacitance. As one can see, to increase current is necessary decrease the capacitive reactance (Ohm's Law), and for that we need to increase capacitance (capacitor size). Above 20-30mA this is no longer feasible because the capacitor becomes too big and expensive, so above these currents it is better to choose other method of conversion (Transformer or SMPS- switch mode power supply ).

Some practical tips
Thursday, September 13, 2007 1:41:24 AM
I've working with Xformerless PS for some time. I've made some working circuits too, very similar to the schematic shown, but I must point out some considerations for those trying to build one: Always remember that this design IS NOT ISOLATED FROM MAINS VOLTAGE. No matter how much the output is, some terminals could be very near the live (hot) mains voltage. I guess it's not recommended for begginers. The regulation is based on the capacitive reactance of C1. That is, the bigger the cap, the higher the current flowing through it. This current is always out of phase (90º leading) with the mains voltage. In few words, the current is max when the mains is 0V, and there's no current while V mains is max. For UL approvals, C1 must be complemented with a low value series resistor (between C1 and mains) for surge current limitation, and some other resistor (~1Mohm) in parallel with C1 itself, to discharge it when the P.S. is disconnected from mains (high voltages). I recommend a MOV, varistor just before C1, rated to the local mains voltage, for further surge protection. Real circuits get very hot when not well calculated in advance. These P.S. work by just 'bleeding off' certain amount of power to maintain the required voltage at the load side, zeners and resistors in series with C1 do most of the 'hot work', so must be chosen after knowing very well what current/power they must deal with. For 220VAC, 50Hz, I've used C1=1uF in series with R1=150ohm, BR1 for 1A max, C2=470uF and D1=1N4749 (Vz=24V). Using a 78L05 regulator, I could drive a small relay, a PIC microcontroller and some LEDs (some 40mA at all). Great page, bye!

Hi, Aaron... Your website is very cool and interesting to those the beginners and hobbyist in electronics as well as the more expertised engineers. Bravo! However, I see that many of the projects in your website are lack of comprehensive technical explanations that leading those who try to assamble it to some difficulties or technical failures. This is represented by the so many questions and comments in the forum. Since you have been hardly ever answering the questions, why don't you give more technical tips or explanations for the circuits? Or, is there any volunteers who can give some exact and precise explanations to resolve the questions instantly? It will help especially those the beginners or students who try to do the project. We'll be glad if the circuits or projects in this site can practically be assambled to result proper outputs, won't we? Regards, Ryan.

This is a dangerous design and I suspect becomes non-functional fin a very short amount of time. You mention that this design does not have isolation from the main AC power line. I think you should make that comment blinking RED to fully make the point how dangerous this type of connection is. The zener diode absolutely needs a resistance in series with it to limit the current. The design as shown only limits the current into the zener by whatever parasitic resistance is present in the diode bridge. This is a poor design.

sir, i have designed a power supply module which gives 5V DC @ 5 mA without connecting load. but after connecting the load, the current shoots up nearly to 16- 18 mA, without any effect on the output 5V DC voltage. how can i limit this current, and why is this so happenning?? plz guide me....

Hi, great & simple diagram. But is there anything that should be done, if I would use it as a heavy duty power suppy ? Let's say, 15 V 50 A. Thanks.

Dear Sir, i want to make a automatic power toggle system, in which the AC supply of 230 V with 5Am current could be maintain when the power supply is off bye another back-up UPS , so that the power supply could be continue wiyhout the interruption of the power supply in off condition. So, please suggest me, i always be thankful.
