This is the circuit diagram of 0-60V / 0-2A variable power supply. Of course this circuit used to cover the voltage range from 0 to 60V and current from 0 to 2A. The maximum current can be increased, if we add the power transistors needed. Note the power output, just to cite one example, if delivery 2A 12V source to have a voltage drop of 48V with 2A consumption giving us a dissipation of 100 watts, is not a heating source, so, care.

Close attention should be paid to the way in which the two transistors BC327 circuit current protection, which work in saturation cutting work, another deals only activate an LED indicator on-load when the voltage drop lights output and will have to press the RESET button provided for the case. This will activate the output voltage again.

As already mentioned, this source has an intensity control, which disconnects the output voltage. This does not mean that supports the intersection of the (positive and negative) output cables. We must avoid this situation if possible as this will cause the destruction of transistors and other circuit components, it should be noted that we are dealing with respectable power.

For example: 5V and 2A output, this represents 65V – 5V = 60V which must be dissipated by the output transistors 2A, are talking about the power loss of 120 watts as a small “electric fire” this heat, more heat produced by 10W consumption advantage, they must evacuate 130W between the radiator and a fan that helps to lower the temperature that produces this “heater”, otherwise, you can imagine the result.

This is the circuit diagram of adjustable symmetric 1 to 24VDC, 1A Power Supply. This power supply give dual output positive and negatif output, you can adjust both positif and negative output (+1 to +24VDC and -1 to -24VDC). This kind of power supply also known as dual polarity power supply or splitted power supply which give positive anf negatif output.

This power supply can be used for universal usage, which required not more than 1A DC current. Please take a note that you should adjust the output voltage using general multimeter or DC voltmeter before use this power supply to protect the supplied devices.

The circuit is based around the 7805 voltage regulator. It has only 3 connections (input, output and ground) and it provides a fixed output. The last two digits of the part number specify the output voltage, eg. 05, 06, 08, 10, 12, 15, 18, or 24. The 7800 series provides up to 1 amp load current and has on-chip circuitry to shut down the regulator (rather than blowing out) if any attempt is made to operate it outside its safe operating area. (If this happens to you, let the chip cool down & attach the heatsink.)

It can be seen that there are in fact two separate circuits in this power supply. One 7805 is directly connected as a fixed 5V regulator. The second 7805 has a resistor divider network on the output. A variable 500R potentiometer is used to vary the output voltage from a minimum of 5V up to the maximum DC voltage depending on the input voltage. It will be about 2V below the input DC voltage.)

The capacitor across the output improves transient response. The large capacitor across the input is a filter capacitor to help smooth out ripple in the rectified AC voltage. The larger the filter capacitor the lower the ripple.

For small applications the heat sinks will not be needed. The tab on the regulator will dissipate 2W at 25 degree Celcius just in air. (This is equivalent, for example, to an input voltage of 9V, an output of 5V and drawing 500 mA.) However, as your projects get bigger they will draw more current from the power supply and the regulators will operate at a higher temperature.
