0-50V 3A Variable DC power supply

This regulator is circuit that adjust output voltage wide rage between 0-50V, and Also important is the overcurrent
protection circuit at 3 Ampere. Which will immediately cut. The voltage regulation circuit because use IC-LM723 ICs
will provide better performance. So is suitable as a power supply circuits for various experiments.

Since we ever present a project of this nature many more circuits. For example:
- Cheap adjustable 0-30V 2A Laboratory DC Power Supply
- Regulator 0-30V 5A by IC 723 & 2N3055 -2part
- High power supply regulater 0-30V 20A by LM338
- Bench variable power supply 0-30V
- Variable Regulator 0-30V 5A by LM723,CA3140,2N3055

But them was old over for 20 years ago. Now we have a project that can be used to cover almost all applications. Because
it can adjust voltage between 0V to 50V and we use 2SC5200 transistor replace the 2N3055 old transistor (Though very
ancient, relays still have many uses.) And also apply current to 3A which better than DC voltage adjustable power
supply 0-50V up to 2A by ua723-2N3055. Hope youll like it.

Technical information
Used the transformer size 24-18-CT-18-24volts at 3-4A
Has an overcurrent protection to prevent damage to the circuit.
Adjustable between 0-50 VDC (Depending upon the supply voltage used at AC IN point)
Can apply maximum current to 3A

The working of circuit

As Figure 1 is the projects circuit diagram. The AC-voltage from the transformer will flow through diode D1-D4 to
rectifier to DC voltage by has C1 act as filter voltage to smooth before sent through R1, R2 into TR5. And there IC1 is
used to control a voltage at OUT point by adjusting VR1 can adjust voltage between 0-50 volts.

Figure 1 The circuit diagram of 0-50V 3A Variable DC power supply

The R1, R2 will functions for limitting overcurrent by works together with TR1, TR2. When the current exceeded TR1
and TR2 will work, and will have output voltage out of E lead of TR2 through LED1 into 2 pin of IC1. So cause the
circuit stop provide voltage. The switch-SW1 will functions in reset system to restart working of circuit again.

How to builds
This project have quite many components. You should experience a modest electronic.I am sorry for this project not have
a PCB layout. But you can use the perforated PCB. As components layouts in Figure 2

Figure 2 The components layout and wiring

Mounting transistor to heatsink.

This project we use the 2SC5200 transistor to the heatsink as Figure 3 since when too much current load 2SC5200 it too
heat. So must mount the large size heatsink. As Figure Proper way of mounting the transistor in a heatsink. Using hex nut
and metal screw to mount them together by use mica insulator to protect short circuit.

Figure 3 The mounting the transistor on the heatsink.

Connecting the transformer.

If you want to use output voltage are 0-50VDC can connect 18,24 terminal. The output 0-30VDC can connect 0,24
terminal and The output 0-20VDC can connect 0,18 terminal.

Figure 4 connecting wrong polarity voltage is low

But I cannot buy the transformer as Figure 4 so use 2 transformers to connected with 0-18V and 0-24V in series. If you
connected the wires is 5VAC as Figure 4. It means that, you connect the transformer wrong. Must return a new polarity
wire. We will read voltage about 43V.
Eventually we will have a successful circuit of Figure 5.

Figure 5

Testing
Connect the transformer as shown in Figure 2 by a coil of a transformer to match our needs. Then measure the voltage at
OUT. Supply power to transformer to observe that the meter, will need to measure the voltage from 0-50V by adjusting
the VR1.
As Video below.

The repairing
As the circuit is a device that is not much. So in most cases Why the PCB is often caused by wearing the wrong device
position and soldering. When the circuit is not working, might be the position. Make sure that all the various solder
points.
