0-60V Dual Variable

Power Supply
Introduction :-
• To enable the circuits to work on low voltage and currents different
power supplies were to be used for different circuits.

• To limit this problem variable power supply circuits are designed so

that the circuit can be used even using main power.

• Till now we have seen a lot of power supply circuits, but the main
advantage of using dual variable power supply circuit is that it can
vary the output voltage and output current.
Circuit specifications :-
• On signal mode the circuit can provide 0-60V DC supply.

• On Dual mode the circuit can provide DC dual variable on positive,

negative and ground, are +/- (0-30V).

• Can supply current maximum about 1.5 A.

Circuit Components :-
• Switch, S1 (SMPS).
• Fuse ,F1 0.5A
• Diode D1-12, 1N4007G.
• Resistance, R1=2.2k Ω.
• Resistance, R2=120 Ω.
• Resistance, R3=2.2k Ω.
• Resistor, R4=120 Ω.
• Capacitor, C1=2200µF, 50V.
• Capacitor, C2=10µF, 50V.
• Capacitor, C3=0.1µF.
• Capacitor, C4=2200µF, 50V.
• Capacitor, C5=10µF, 50V.
• Capacitor, C6=0.1µF, 50V.
• Potentiometer VR1-VR2.
• LM317 adjustable voltage regulator.
• LM337 adjustable voltage regulator.
• Multimeter.
Regulator IC :-

• The regulator IC is used to regulates DC voltage. Which in this circuit,

we use an IC number of LM317T for the positive voltage and the
LM337T for the negative voltage. Both ICs have the same features.
Just only it is the different polarity.
 LM317T
• The LM317T is the adjustable regulator IC, can adjust the output voltage of 1.25V
to 35V.
• It is easy to use and requires only two resistors to provide the variable supply.
• Internally the LM317 has the full protection, the short circuit protection, input
over the voltage protection, overload protection.
• Another interesting feature is the elimination of ripple .
• The output voltage determined from the formula.
V = 1.25[1+(R2/R1)]
the R1 is the resistance constant from 120Ω to 240Ω.
R2 can have value from 0 to what we want. If R2 is zero minimum output
voltage is 1.25V.
To start LM317T at 0 volt :-
• Which weak point if ICLM317T is the minimum output voltage across,
between Adj and the ground is 1.25V.
• By creating a reference voltage is lower than the zero 1.25V. It is -
1.25V. Then, take this voltage to the Adj. So you can adjust the
output voltage to 0V.
• The negative voltage regulated IC, LM337T is similar to LM317. If the
Adj connects to ground, get lowest output voltage is -1.25V.
Working of Dual Variable Power Supply:-
• In the circuit as shown in previous slide. The Diodes D1-D4 are
rectifier converting AC voltage from 24 volts of transformer into DCV
of about 33V, in both positive and negative voltage.
• The capacitor C1 and C4 are a voltage filter from the bridge diodes to
smooth.
• The R1, D5, and D6 are made the reference voltage of +1.25 volts to
the LM337T to adjust the voltage to start at 0V.
• The R3, D10, and D11 make voltage -1.25V to LM317T. It can also
adjust the beginning voltage is 0V.
• The D7, D8, and D12, D13 protects voltage backward voltage from the
output. Which may cause damage to the ICs.
• The C2 and C5 are connected to reduce the noise signal that from the
potentiometer (VR1, VR2) and makes the voltage at the output to
smooth up.
Applications :-
• Used in various power amplifiers and oscillators to provide DC supply.
• This circuit is used in appliances.
• Used as RPS (Regulated power supply) to provide the DC supply to the
various electronic circuits.
