How to Calculate Transformerless Power Supply Circuits
In this article I have explained how to calculate resistor and capacitor values in transformerless power supply circuits using simple formulas like ohms law. Analyzing a Capactive Power Supply Before I have explained the formula for calculating and optimizing resistor and capacitor values in a transformerless power supply, it would be important to first summarize […]
High Current Transformerless Power Supply Circuit
The simple configuration of a transformerless power supply circuit presented below is able to provide high current at any assigned fixed voltage level. The idea seems to have solved the problem of deriving high current from capacitive power supplies which earlier seemed a difficult proposition. Introduction I have discussed a few transformerless power supply circuits […]
12V LED Backpack Power Supply Circuit
In this article I have explained to make a simple 12v LED backpack power supply circuit for powering a 36watt LED lamp, which includes appropriately wired integrated sockets for enabling the attachment of external devices such as a regulated battery charger, ammeter, voltmeter etc. The idea was requested by Mr. Kevin Bates Backpack LED Charger/Driver […]
12 Amp Power Supply Circuit using Parallel LM317 ICs
This adjustable power supply is capable of delivering a maximum output of 12 A with an adjustable voltage from 4 V to 20 V through many LM317 ICs connected in parallel. It will allow testing of any device requiring a significant power supply, such as a direct current motor, a car amplifier, or even a […]
