Variable Power Supply

:Introduction
Our project is the power
supply of the trainer. It is capable of supplying
constant as well as variable dual voltages to
the user. It has efficiency to give current of 1A.
It is small, simple, cheap and efficient circuit
that is performing efficent functions. It cost
378Rs.

Working of the circuit :

A main supply (220v,40Hz) is supplied directly
to the center tapped transformer and
transformer steps down it to about 24V.These
voltages are rectified through the bridge
rectifier which is at once after the transformer.
Rectified signal is the continuous pulsating DC
then capacitors filters the pulsating DC into

the smooth non pulsating DC (constant
graph) .Now this DC is regulating by the ICs.
ICLM317 regulates about 0 to 12V.
IC LM337 regulates about 0 to -12V.
So user can easily get the desired voltages
from the output pins of the different
regulators. In the circuit, we have placed the
separate output pins for positive and negative
voltage, and common ground pin of the whole
circuit is also available in our circuit.

Conclusion:
In short, our circuit can
serve as the variable as well as dual power
supply for the user. If the user wants a
particular value signal that is not available by
the power supply then he will not go to the
market to purchase another power supply , he

can take help from the amplifier circuit
available in our project circuit and can amplify
the signal in the available range to do his
work easily.
For example User wants 20vp.p but 10vp.p is
available in the lab then our circuit can help
the user.our circuit has ability to amplify the
10vp.p into the 20vp.p.User just apply 10vp.p
as a input to the amplifier circuit and get
20vp.p on the output of the circuit.
