This is an adjustable power supply which have adjustabled output voltage from 6-12 DC volt.
Component Parts List:
T1 = 115[220]/8 VAC transformer. Center Tap not needed.
Q1 = 2N1613, NTE128, or substitute. (TO-39 case) On coolrib!
BR1 = 40V, 4A. (Check max current of your mini-drill and add 2A)
R1 = 470 ohm, 5%
R2 = 1K, 5%
P1 = potentiometer, 10K
C1 = 1000uF, 25V
This is bench power supply circuit for multi purpose usage…
This bench power supply features three solid-state DC power supplies. The first supply gives a +1.5 to +15 volts at 1 ampere. The second supply gives a -1.5 to -15 volts at 1 ampere. The third has a fixed 5V at 3 amperes. All DC supplies are fully regulated. A special IC circuit keeps the output voltage within .2V when going from no load to 1 ampere. The output is fully protected from short circuits. This supply is ideal for use in school labs, service shops or anywhere a precise DC voltage is required.
Take a note that based on the diagram, this circuit require 120V AC to 17V AC Center Tapped Transformer. If your country use 220V AC home electric, you MUST change the Transformer 220-240V AC to 18V AC Center Tapped Transformer.
