Home brewed Power supplies


                     A computer SMPS converted as 13.8V ,15 A power supply

Front panel
A 250 watts Desk top pc SMPS was modified to a 13.8 Volts power supply capable of handling load current up to 15 Amps. The SMPS normally delivers + 5V, - 5V, +12V,        -12V for the different sections and drives of the computer. The 5 volts supply has higher current rating and the same was converted to 13.8 volts by suitably replacing the resistors in the dividing network retaining all other parts. The entire PCB has been mounted in a separate cabinet with necessary DC power sockets, AC power input, DC power indicator, ON/OFF switch and a Digital voltmeter. The external and internal arrangements can be seen in the photographs.
