30 volts variable power supply


       A 30 volts variable power supply with current limiting control.

Front Panel
The power supply is capable of delivering 30 volts at a current rating of 3 Amps. Two numbers of 2N3055 has been used as pass transistors with regulation control. The current can be restricted to any desired value by a multi turn pot. Similarly the output voltage also can be varied from 2 volts to 30 volts. Both controls are mounted in the front panel. The circuit has short circuit protection. Two digital panel meters have been provided to indicate the out put voltage and load current. The DPMs have been powered by a small 5V- 500 ma SMPS unit removed from a mobile phone charger. A 230 volts fan keeps the transistors cool. When ever the current exceeds the set value, the voltage gets locked and the current limiting is indicated by an indicator on the front panel.
