I made a variable Power supply.The circuit i saw from the Greek electronic forum
www.hlektronika.gr.For small dimension i will put external AC transformer,220 Volt Ac to 24 Volt AC - 35 VA (1.5 A) for big current at high scale voltage (over from 15 volt dc),
and i will change another one external AC transformer 220 Volt AC to 12 Volt AC - 20 VA (1.5 A) for big current at low scale voltage (down from 15 volt dc).This circuit typical is for max current 4-5 A (With biggest hitsink,and with LM 338 TO3 for better.) .But at high input voltage 34 volt AC it warm enough and is for not more load from 1-1.5 A .I use the LM 338T TO 220 .
| Here is the electronic circuit for adjustable Power supply with regulator LM 338.
|
|
Here is the electronic material. |
|
Here is the 2 external AC transformers,one 220 volt Ac to 24 volt AC - 35 VA (1.5 A),and another one 220 Volt AC to 12 Volt AC - 20 VA (2 A) |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| Here i open holes for voltmeter - ammeter.
|
|
Here i have open all the holes at plastic box for the electronic material. |
|
Here i open holes to hitsink for the regulator LM 338T.And for keep the hitsink in the box. |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| Here i put a metal betwen plastic box and hitsink. |
|
Here with screws-nuts i put the regulator over to hitsink and piece metal and all this,touch over to plastic boc. |
|
All the electronic components is ready over to plastic box. |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| And from the other side. |
|
The electronic components is ready with soldering iron. |
|
And from the other side. |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| Here is ready the cables with soldering iron to voltmeter-annmeter,switch on-off ,e.t.c. |
|
It work. |

I made a second version,because only the LM338T (TO2) with input 24 V AC after 1 A it was very warm.I added one transistor PNP MJ2955 and two resistor for work it without warm at 1.5 A load .The circuit is for load 3 A.The circuit i saw from the Greek electronic forum
www.hlektronika.gr. But i put only one transistor MJ2955.At the end i change with a more power transistor MJ15004 for more current load 5 A.
| Here it is a electronic design.But i put only one transistor MJ2955.Resistor R7 i put 33 ïhm 2 watt,and resistor R3 0,1 ohm 5 watt |
|
Here i added this electronic material.One transistor MJ2955,one resistor 33 ohm 2 watt,one resistor 0,1 ohm 5 watt,heatsink,and insulation for the transistor |
|
Here i put over the plastic box the heatsink with transistor MJ2955 |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| Here i put with soldering iron 3 cables from transistor. |
|
Here i added 2 resistor at old circuit,and one clips for transistor cable. |
|
And from the other side. |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| I finish with cable connexion. |
|
It is ready. |
|
Another one view |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| And from backside show the MJ2955. |
|
After I put a better transistor for more power MJ15004. |
