A rather cheap yet reasonably effective short circuit protection circuit is I have explained below which can be used for safeguarding power supply circuit Introduction A power supply unit is an indispensable unit for every electronic enthusiast and engineers working in the relevant field. Though today all of us use hi-tech power supply units having […]
LED Driver Power Supply Circuit Using Dimmer Switch
In this post I have explained an effective and efficient high current compact LED Driver power supply using a dimmer switch gadget. In one of my other posts I discussed a high voltage transformerless power supply circuit that used a triac for controlling the capacitive output, however since the concept involved shorting the capacitive output […]
Variable Voltage, Current Power Supply Circuit Using Transistor 2N3055
In this post I have explained how to make a simple variable power supply circuit using transistor 2N3055 and some other passive components. It includes variable voltage and variable current feature, fully adjustable. Main Specifications 1) Adjustable from 0-30V, 0-60V, and 0-100V, and 500mA to 10 Amp as per user preference 2) Short Circuit Protected […]
Soft-Start Power Supply for Amplifier Loudspeakers
The proposed slow-start power supply circuit is specially designed for power amplifiers to ensure that the loudspeaker connected with the amplifier do not generate the loud and unwanted “thump” sound during power switch ON. This also implies that the power supply will safeguard or protect the loudspeaker from the sudden inrush current transient from the […]
