1.2V to 13.4V Variable Power Supply

This Variable Power Supply allows you to change voltage depending on your requirement.You can change the voltage from 1.2 Volts to 13.4 Volts. So you can use this variable power supply for powering your projects too.

This variable power supply consists of IC LM317T which allows you to vary voltage.

Variable Power Supply Consists of following circuits

• Full Wave Rectifier
• 15 Volt Regulator
• Adjustable Voltage Regulator.

Components for 15 Volt Regulator

I had also attached Schematic File Below

I had soldered the components in Gendral Purpose PCB according to schematic diagram of variable power supply.

The 15V Regulator Use 12-0-12 Volt transofrmer.The 12 volt at input of 15V regulator circuit is amplified into 16V by the use of 2200uf capacitor.The capacitor is connected at the output of Full Wave Rectifier.The full wave rectifier is formed by two diodes 1N5408.The full wave rectifier will convert 12V AC into 12V DC.The Voltage at the output of full wave rectifier is 12V.If we add 2200uf capacitor at the output of full wave rectifier in parallel.The 12V is boosted into 16V. This 16 V is given to IC 7815.This IC will regulate 16V into 15V. So you get 15V at the output of 15 Volt Regultor Circuit.

The adjustable voltage regulator consists of IC LM317T which is designed with resistors to control voltage from 1.2V to 13.4V.We know that PN junction diodes conduct only in forward direction.The two diodes 1N4007 which is used for protection purpose.The 5K Potentiometer is used to vary voltage.The pot is to be fixed with knob for adjusting voltage comfortably.
