DC power supply 3-30V 3-30V 3A stabilized

This DC power supply circuit diagram is designed as an additional or as a permanent power supply for all general circuits based on a stable DC voltage between 3 and 30V provided that current consumption does not exceed 3A. Of course, this DC power supply can also be used to other purposes. By replacing the trimmer by a potentiometer, it can even be used as adjustable supply unit. A good quality heatsink must be used.

DC power supply 3-30V 3-30V/ 3A Specifications:

• Protection against overloads
• Short-circuit steady
• Output current: max. 3A
• Output ripple voltage: 0.5 mV
• Output voltage: adjustable from 3 to 30V, stabilized
• Input voltage: 9 to 30V AC (depending on desired output voltage)

Mounting in an enclosure:
Depending on the transformer used, one can choose one of two housings. If a metal enclosure is used, must be connected to safety purposes. Make sure that the heat sink does not touch the housing, this can cause a short circuit.
If the circuit is to be integrated into another unit, the ventilation holes must be provided, which is required to dissipate the heat.

Notes:

• Connect a voltmeter to “GND” points and “OUT +” and set “RV1” until the voltage desired output is reached.
• Apply some heat-conductive paste to the lower surface of the transistor and mount it on the radiator.
• If you need 3 to 8 volts then R2 is 5.6K
• If you need more than 8 volts then the R2 is 2.2K
