Default Simple Power Supply Again

Perhaps a newsgroup about electronics?

Anybody got a design?

There are several different power supplies with schematics.

I just got done making another work radio cause the last one got
ripped off. I get a DC power supply of 3 - 4 amps @ 14 v and hook up
a CD and tape car radios with a 12 pin toggle switch to run on only
two speakers. I'm no electronic engineer , but I don't see much of a
problem to put in an adjustable resistor. Go to an industrial
electronic parts supplier.

cheapo 12v 2amp trickel charger plugged into a variac. Not the
cheapes in the world, but pretty much foolproof and you can still ise
it as a charger and a variac.

Got a local library?

circuits, each complete with values of all parts and performance
details, organized in 131 logical chapters for quick reference and
convenient browsing.

Modern electronic circuits reference manual Book

or anything which says something like "Electronics Cookbook"

http://www.google.com/search?&q=12v+...pply+schematic
gave me 14,800 hits in half a second.


P.S: It's probably quicker, cheaper, and easier to just buy one.
http://www.mpja.com/productview.asp?product=6068+KT is a 1A kit
for $7.89 and their product=14628+PS 12v2A for $10. Their 3-30v
variable bench supply with meters and pots is $25.

There's a number of circuits on the web that are model train power packs or
supplies. Everything from Variac supplies to electronic ones that use all
kinds of output devices. Even a fair number of them are PWM designs which
are very good for controlling motors.

Hi Barry,
This page has schematics for just about everything
http://www.commlinx.com.au/schematics.htm
There are more than 100 power supply schematics one of which should
suit your purposes.

Use a battery charger and a variac. Or, just use any isolation
transformer, a variac and a full wave bridge rectifier.

Better put some filtering on it. Battery chargers do not put out pure DC
but pulsating DC. Look at it on a scope.

Check out this site. Pick out the design you need. All the power supply
schematics you have ever thought of and much more.
