Hi,

Just wanted to bounce a quick question out there as I don't have much
experience in this field, but Is there a device that exists that will
regulate an AC supply to a certain Voltage? I'm looking at
incorporating this stage in a design at present.

What I'm looking at currently needs to be only step-down. But if there
are Buck-Boost types that would do also.

Ideally I'd like to build something discretely to do this job, I want
to regulate 50Hz ~240VAC down to 50Hz 180VAC.

A trasnformer won't work because the input will see variations and I
don't want these present on the output.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be much obliged.

P

There are AC stabilisers that use a resonant system, I think 1% is achievable.
Cannot remember what those were called.
No electronics is those.
Oh, found it again: ferroresonant transformer
This wikipdia link explains some of it:
