That is some serious theory. Anyone thinking of studying electronical engineering can just watch a few weeks of Jumper One tutorials instead.
And a useful project for the long term, not just a wacky LDR robot. Really excellent attention to detail too, although it’s very dense for a beginner. Keep at it Phil.

There is so much more to this simple PS design than I put out in this video. So this should be a really good learning experience for beginners.

This will be so much fun to build. I am comibg back to electronics after 10 years and i was just looking for a psu to build. I need it to power a ham radio receiver, so i needs to have very low noise and ripple. This fits the role perfectly. Thank you for sharing!

Hi! Thanks for the presentations
What kind of varnish have you used for the front panel?
admin says:
August 15, 2011 at 1:04 pm (UTC -7)
MOTIP acrylic clear varnish. In two or three thin’ layers. Underneath single sided glossy photo paper 120g/m2

Hi!
Can you more thoroughly describe how did you actually made front panel labels? Can you even make a video explaining it? There aren’t many instructables about it.
admin says:
December 27, 2011 at 6:47 pm (UTC -7)
I’ve used InkScape (www.inkscape.org) free vector graphics software for drawing the front panel layout.
Then I printed it out on a photo paper (now I print all my labels on a paper for labels (one side is sticky)).
Glued down paper to the front panel. Used X-Acto knife to cut holes.
And finally coated everything with clear varnish. (you can use film for cold lamination instead)
I guess, you right, I should make a video on how to make a front panel.

Really great videos. I’d rather have too much detail than too little. As a beginner, it was easy enough to follow so I’m inspired to attempt to build one myself.
Nice to see you have a Uni-T multimeter. I just upgraded to a UT71D although I can’t use the data logging software on my Mac. Out of interest, can you recommend a good soldering station – I’m looking at a Hakko FX-888. Is that heat gun you used on the heat-shrink cable part of some solder station with a hot-air reflow?
Thanks again for the great articles
admin says:
August 16, 2011 at 3:23 pm (UTC -7)
Hakko FX-888 is a really good choice! I need to buy another one soldering station and I’m gonna buy FX-888. Right now I’m using cheap chinese soldering station with a heat gun Lukey-852D+ but the heating element in iron is made by hakko.

Hi, just out of curiosity, why did you place a capacitor on the inputs of the bridge rectifiers? Some sort of EMI suppression? I just haven’t seen it done before.
Greetings and congrats on a great article.
admin says:
August 16, 2011 at 3:26 pm (UTC -7)
It’s common technique for additional noise suppression. You can find this in a lot of power supplies.

About drill: I was looking for something small and pretty powerful, but I haven’t found anything like that, so I bought motor and drill chuck separately on a local market. And then glued big tactile button to motor. Really handy. You can look on ebay for something similar.

Just what my son and I were looking for. I used to assemble my computer desktops, I started at P2 but stopped at multiple cores, so lots of hardware on shelves. We are now involved in RC airplanes and one day thought that some of those 12V ATX’s , some pushing 20AMP’s, would be great to power the battery charger and allow bench testing components. I spent an hour, then realized that like some battery chargers, I had to show the box it was ok to come alive. That is where I stopped, until YOUR INFORMATION. Thanks, can’t wait to see his face with 4 (FOUR), 12V etc. power supplies on our work bench. Wait, I just remembered that now I will get back
my car battery charger and the 12V jumper battery he is using to power the airplane battery charger.
Thanks again

and nice job for the power supply man …
admin says:
November 28, 2011 at 2:00 am (UTC -7)
Hi!
The easiest way to convert 220VAC to 24VAC is to use a transformer. When selecting transformer, you need to know how much current your load will draw. And take transformer about 1/3 more powerful, just to be on the safe side.
The other way to convert higher AC voltage to lower is to use an inverter. But that’s much more complicated and is not used in practice to get 24VAC.
onimusha says:
December 12, 2011 at 6:57 pm (UTC -7)
Hi … thanks for your answer, but I have one more question.
How to create a battery discharger without using a bulbs. I mean that is there any component (i.e transistor serries) that I can use to discharge a AA battery, and could you also can help me to provide a link or circuit diagram.
I really need this knowledge to complete my exam.
I am an 10 years old, and I need to build a multi battery maintenance for my school exam.
Thanks for your attention before.
admin says:
December 13, 2011 at 4:52 pm (UTC -7)
Hi!
Wow, 10 years old, and you already need to do multi-battery maintenance system for school exam! What school are you studying in?
To discharge battery you can use a couple of different methods(here’s some of them):
1. Easiest way to use a single resistor with appropriate power rating.
Let’s say, you need to discharge some lead-acid battery from about 13V to 9V.(just an example)
And you want discharge current to be around 200mA (0.2A)
In this case you can calculate resistor value for average voltage between 13V and 9V:
Vavg = (13+9)/2 = 11V
Then calculate the resistor value, using basic Ohm’s law.
R = Vavg / 0.2A = 11 / 0.2 = 55 Ohms
Then calculate resistor power dissipation (you should know this for choosing the right resistor)
P = (Vavg^2) / R = 121 / 55 = 2.2W
So, for this task you need to take 55 Ohms, 5W(to be on the safe side) resistor!
Discharge current at 13V would be 0.24A, and at the end of discharging your battery, at 9V it would be 0.16A.
2. If you want to have more consistent discharge current, you can use a couple of resistors (2-3-4) and some mosfets or relays to switch them on or off, depending on battery voltage.
For this task it’s better to use N-channel mosfets (for example IRF540), or some relays.
Connect all source pins of mosfets to the negative battery terminal, and also use that terminal as a common system ground.
Then connect one side of each power resistor to corresponding mosfet drain. 3 mosfets – 3 resistors.
And then connect second terminal of each resistor to one point – battery positive terminal.
So, in this case mosfets will work as simple switches, which you can switch on or off by applying positive voltage (about 7V, depends on a mosfet) to it’s gate pin.
3. Build an active constant current electronic load.
Dave has a nice video on that topic, I can’t add anything to it.
http://www.eevblog.com/2010/08/01/eevblog-102-diy-constant-current-dummy-load-for-power-supply-and-battery-testing/
If you got more questions, next time send me an email.
P.S. and also you can post your question on http://eevblog.com/forum/
There would be a lot of people, who can help you. More people might find a better solution for you. But if you would post there, describe requirements for your project in detail, including what has been done and what else you need to do.

Hi Mr Phil,
Many thanks for your answer, I have try it and it works … now I have some problem to display the voltage on 7 segment display. I could not found ICL7107 in my area.
Could I use another component to replace ICL7107 so I could display the voltage on 7 segment. if yes, what component that I can to use and do you have the schematic for that component.
Sorry if my english is bad, because I am from japan and live in other country, and I could not found ICL7107 in here.
Many thanks for your kind assistant.
admin says:
December 27, 2011 at 6:30 pm (UTC -7)
Hi!
There are a lot of similar display drivers like that exists. You can look here:
http://search.digikey.com/us/en/cat/integrated-circuits-ics/pmic-display-drivers/2556426
You can select two or more parameters using ctrl button.
Always refer to component datasheet first when you need some example how to use that component. You’ll find schematic examples and a lot of useful info there.
You can find datasheets on digikey, http://datasheetcatalog.com/, manufacturer’s website and google of course.
But the easier way to display the voltage is to use a metering panel. If you don’t specifically need to design your own metering circuit with 7seg. display driver, than I suggest you to use some metering panel, which you can easily find anywhere.
They usually can measure up to +/- 200mV, but you can use a simple voltage divider to measure any voltage you need.
And be aware of common ground measuring ability of such panels. Because most of the panels would require a separate (isolated) power supply in order to work. It could be just a 9V battery, or some small transformer with rectifier and cap.
And your English is really good! Just keep practicing and it’ll be much better in time.

LM350T can have 3amp in output and protected from short circuit,
can you tell me what is the value of the resistor and power of adjustment resistor
and if this also applies to the LM350T
with your tutorials my laboratorie PSU is in good way
thank you in advance

in output is 30volt 3amp
thank you in advance
admin says:
January 8, 2012 at 2:49 am (UTC -7)
It depends on pot value and fixed resistor in series value you want to use.
Generally you don’t want to go over 0.5W power dissipation for this kind of things. Just stick with 1W or 2W pot and take appropriate resistance values to dissipate no more than 0.3-0.5W.
Use Ohm’s Law! U = I*R. P = U*I, etc.
jackfrench says:
January 8, 2012 at 11:15 pm (UTC -7)
hi,
i have test with 1,5k ohms but when is go to 0ohms the potentiometer smoke
and i use your equation:
r2=r1x(Vout-1.25/1.25)
when i remplace:
r2=270x(30-1,25/1,25)=6210ohms
so i use 10kohms potensiometer
U=IxR
R=30/3=10Kohms
now P=UxI
P=30×3=90W!
WTF i think it doesn’t exist or i have probleme in my calcul
can you help me im lost very lost
good bye

Secondly, where did you get 3A in P = 30×3 formula?
jackfrench says:
January 11, 2012 at 10:39 am (UTC -7)
the schematique is same to you just change 317 by 350
and 3A come from LM350T is max output

good day jumperone,
thanks for the in depth videos. learned alot from them.
since this project connects directly to mains,i would like to ask you about the plans, thoughts and cosinderations regarding grounding this project (from the mains side and the circuit side).
lots of tutorial on the web but many only briefly mention about this issue. since this concerns safety,it has actually made me put this project on hold.
appreciate your assistance.
luke.
admin says:
March 19, 2012 at 12:41 pm (UTC -7)
In this case you don’t need to worry about grounding too much, because transformer separates mains high voltage and low voltage part. Some transformers have a shield between primary and secondary windings, if it does – it needs to be connected to mains earth.
Main thing you can do in this case to ensure safety of your device is to buy (salvage, etc.) a good quality transformer.

I just wanted to add my thanks to your growing list of kudos. As a self-schooled novice (I started reading about electronics on a whim about six months ago and am now utterly besotted – ruined for life!) yours is precisely the sort of presentation that makes it all hang together for me. Just goes to show that, properly construed, even the simplest circuit can be an exemplar of broader theoretical and practical principles. Reading/watching your presentation was a perfect catalyst – I started having these flashes of insight, could almost hear the puzzle pieces clicking into place. Like a series of “aha!” moments when all the theory which had seemed so nebulous all of a sudden takes on shape and mass. Your presentation style offers people like me so much more than the step-by-step “how-to” guides that take you from point A to point B without ever showing you why the journey matters. Keep up the superb work and know the amount of time and effort you put in is deeply appreciated by grateful newcomers.

Great video! I have been using a bread/proto board for school and I’m not a fan. I’d love to find a 120VAC to a variable 36VDC power supply pcb made to operate with: LM317, 4 caps (one ceramic, one output), 4 diodes(bridge) and three resistors (one 5k pot, one for led, one for LM317 pins 2+3). Seems pretty darn close to what you used. Did you buy yours or make it? I’ve had no luck finding the pcb for sale (by itself) online. Any help you could provide would be awesome.

Remember me
I have finished this power supply project and thanks to you, now I have pass my exam with A++ and my power supply will be use for my school for project sample for other student that would like to take similar exam.
Really 2x appreaciate for your help in the past.
But I still wondering on how to create autocut off battery charger.
fyi, I would like to build another power supply for my self that I will use it to charge nimh/nicd battery for my toys. But I could not found any idea on how to terminate the charge process when my battery in full charge condition.
Kindly need your help, and really sorry to rush you again.
Many thanks Mr. Phil and have a good day.

Hi,
Sure, I remember you!
Glad to hear, that it was useful to you.
You want to build an automatic charger for ordinary sealed lead-acid batteries, right?
If so, than it’s really easy to do with using the same LM317.
First you need to understand how to charge those batteries.
Go to “Charge Methods” http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/
to learn about what is C-Rate and what is the algorithm of charging a different types of batteries.
Then find LM317 datasheet from National Semiconductor and Texas Instruments. There you’ll find a couple of simple schematics for charging a lead-acid batteries.
That’s pretty much it.
And how to charge a lead-acid batteries in a nutshell (the simple way):
1. First charge it with a constant current of 0.1C
2. When voltage will rise to 13.8-14.8V (depends on the battery and what you’ll use it for) keep the voltage on the same level for some time (or indefinitely).
(LM317 charger does it all automatically)
Charging Ni-Mh and Ni-Cd batteries is much more complex, so it’s better to buy a proper commercial charger.
But if you still want to charge those batteries at home, than you can charge them with constant current of 0.1C for 10hours, or 0.2C for 5hours. more current is more dangerous without proper temperature and delta-V control.
And before charging these batteries this way, you’d better to completely discharge them. Although Ni-Cd batteries could be charged with 0.1C without harm even if they full.
Don’t hesitate to ask if you have more questions.
P.S. Just call me Phil. I didn’t get used to the whole Mr. thing ))
Cheers!

Hi,

I enjoyed all the videos and articles on your site. Very impressive work.
I searched the net for a PC power supply conversion and your video came up. I’ve been buying electronic components for a few years now for various projects but I’ve done very little because there’s no time being a father of two. I think I’ve become addicted to collecting different types of capacitors

Hi,
I’m interested in building a high current power supply, based on the LM317 regulation circuit. I have a big 800 watts iron core transformer and 20 or more 2N3055 transistors. I have already tried building the project, but the voltage regulation was very poor and dropped significantly above say 15-20 amps. The transformer gives 16 volts at its output and I used 6 2N3055, which I think is too few. My aim is to get 12-13 volts stable voltage at about 40 amps of current. Is this possible with the transformer that I have, or the voltage (16volts) is not high enough? Maybe you could write an article about that?

I want to thank you for the excellent videos. I’m a newbie in electronics and I’m learning a lot thanks to you.
I do have a few questions regarding oscilloscopes and mains earth ground.
I noticed that on this video, your transformer was not grounded. I’ve seen several times in other articles that one must always have a ground connection.
I’ve watched Dave Jones video on “how not to blow up your oscilloscope”. In this video he explains the dangers of connecting the ground probes of the oscilloscope to a mains grounded device. He also mentions that in order to avoid this issue, one must use a floating device (battery powered).
So my question is; how are you getting away with probing the circuit without a mains ground? is your oscilloscope running off battery power?
I just got a Owon sds6062v which has the option for battery power.
If I use the battery instead of mains power to run the oscilloscope, will I be save from shorting out the mains ground of test circuits?
I’m currently converting an ATX PSU into a variable voltage PSU based on the LM350 chip. Obliviously, the ATX PSU is grounded. Would it be safe to use the oscilloscope on battery power to avoid shorting the mains ground? If not, would it be safe to remove the ground connection from the PSU?
I apologize if the questions don’t make much sense. I’m still learning electronics and just want to be sure safety comes first:)
