regulator

A voltage regulator is a system designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage. A voltage regulator may use a simple feed-forward design or may include negative feedback. It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or electronic components. Depending on the design, it may be used to regulate one or more AC or DC voltages.
Electronic voltage regulators are found in devices such as computer power supplies where they stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and other elements. In automobile alternators and central power station generator plants, voltage regulators control the output of the plant. In an electric power distribution system, voltage regulators may be installed at a substation or along distribution lines so that all customers receive steady voltage independent of how much power is drawn from the line.

    Leak from/around boiler pressure regulator (Italy)

    Had my father's boiler serviced yesterday. (ITALY) After the service, I noticed a slight smell of gas around the regulator in the boiler (boiler cover is a hinged door, so easy access). Think this was a pre-existing fault. Not a big leak, and would probably pass a gas leak test, though they...
