Simply said it is a power supply that can adjust the output voltage or current.
Variable regulated power supply circuit diagram.
Here is the circuit producing variable voltage power supply designed using fixed voltage regulators.
The fixed voltage regulator is used to offer fixed voltage at the output terminal and does not depend upon the input voltage supplied.
But it still has the same characteristics as a fixed regulated power supply.
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.
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.
What is a variable power supply.
Variable power supply circuit from fixed voltage regulator.
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.
This circuit is not an absolute novelty but it s simple reliable rugged and short proof featuring variable voltage up.
It will keep a stable voltage when it has any load.
