Build a 5 A stabilized Power Supply Circuit Diagram

How to Build a 5 A stabilized Power Supply Circuit Diagram. This is a simple but powerful power supply, which can deliver up. 5 A The circuit works with the aid of a normal voltage regulator of the type 78xx and a buffer transistor. When the output current exceeds 200 mA, then T1 takes over, allowing the maximum output current is 5 amperes.

The 78 series regulator is available from 5 to 24 volts. In the place of the xx is the voltage, so 7812 for a 12 volt regulator.Take the AC in 5% higher than the desired output voltage. In that case it is below the wrinkle.T1 is a MJ (E) 2955. It must be properly cooled at higher output currents.
