Regulated power supply is an electronic circuit that is designed to provide a constant dc voltage of predetermined value across load terminals irrespective of ac mains fluctuations or load variations.
Variable regulated power supply circuit diagram.
Transistor variable power supply 1a 0 30v.
The 117vac or 220vac coming from the power cord is fed to the transformer tr1 via the on off switch and the 500ma fuse the 24vac output approximately from the transformer is presented to the bridge rectifier br1 and here rectified from ac alternating current to dc direct current if you don t want to spend the money for a bridge rectifier you can easily use four.
Adjustable power supply circuit.
Variable power supply circuit from fixed voltage regulator.
What is a variable power supply.
A variable dc power supply is one of the most useful tools on the electronics hobbyist s workbench.
Here is the circuit producing variable voltage power supply designed using fixed voltage regulators.
It will keep a stable voltage when it has any load.
For this article i m going to show you my variable regulated power supply built from scratch the circuit diagram i ve used and a few safety tips.
But it still has the same characteristics as a fixed regulated power supply.
The fixed voltage regulator is used to offer fixed voltage at the output terminal and does not depend upon the input voltage supplied.
It s based on the lm317 that controls a few high power bipolar transistors connected in parallel to achieve a 0 30v voltage interval and a maximum current of 20amps.
