Sweet build man, as for the cost argument, getting something custom built to the need can not be purchased, plus the learning experience is awesome. The other advantage to building is you now know how it works, so you can easily repair it.
@@DavisJohnTV so you just drop a link to your channel, no comment, add nothing to the discussion? That is a good way to ensure I never watch your videos.
hello sorin,yah it is easy to make,thats beacause you have a clear information about your project,i really love by making diy project.im just always waiting for your next video...keep up the good work sorin.
Dear Sorin , I hv really become fan of ur perfect design and better looks than factory of ur products.. I an 93 batch electronics engineer from Mumbai India Airport... I like ur accent and clean heart 💓 lovely talks By the way ur country Sir? My country highway are bad too..😭😎🙏👍😀😂 I wd love u to design power saving renewable energy devices which is future..
i have seen alot of these duy bench supplies but your presentation is the best because of the fact that you icluded the wiriing diagram ... just watching them do it without diagram can potentially burn out a component if you dont know whats happening .... thanks..alsoit was nice that you told me about the volt/amp meter destinction that one is good the other not so ...ill take the precaution when buying ty
I made a variable bench psu just yesterday, with the exact same dc-dc converter, however, I used a 90W laptop charger as the mains-to-dc conversion. Still a weird coincidence tho.
It's a nice build, really. For a home enthusiast, this is something nice to build and have. But, I'm wondering why you used the 10A fuse on the primary side (mains side) of the supply? With the power output of this supply, you can put the 1A fuse instead and be much safer. 1A fuse will blow when you've reached the 220-230W (mains voltage x the current). Also, use a slow-blow fuse because when you power on the supply, the transformer will draw a much larger current for a very short time. The 6A fuse on the secondary side is perfect.
@@Sorin_DIY OK then, but please, correct it and put a slow blow fuse of 1 to 1,5A for safety reasons. Otherwise, a very good job and choice of components.
You should add smaller value potentiometer in series for better,more precise voltage set.Also adding 100nF paraller to big cap provide less hum in the output.
good choice choosing that iron transformer, it can handle lot of amp not like those crappy switching power supply, can't handle over current it triggered protection circuitry and shutoff and cost a lot too, nice work thumps up sorin
@@bashaaksema94 yes i agree with you smps are super efficient it is very useful for some appliances but in this topic the main subject is high power project and iron transformer is suitable for that iron transformer have some watt tolerance like my 24v 5a=120w transformer, i can push it about 130 to 150w nothing is problem but yes just a little bit warm but my 12v 20a smps power supply, if i put a little bit amp like 21 or 20.5a boom!!!!! it triggered and it also cost me a lot too not suitable for my high power project
replace with multi turn potential meter... it give more voltage resolutions ... it also help like if any one touch rotartry party slightly it mess voltage . if more we close to required rang ..example - really slight turn is change 4.2 v to 9v which also kill lipo ...
Thank you for y?our video. This one was much better than your video on building a power supply from a PC power supply. Your English pronounciation has improved considerably. So I have subscribed now that I can understand you much better! Btw- The heat shrinking tubing is called eat Shrinkable TUBING. I am not certain what you are calling it but it doesn't appear to be right.
great video,you do nice neat work,and you gave good advice regarding the V/A meter unfortunately I bought the two wire one not the good three wire one,but I learned something anyway.
Don't you think the Buck Boost converter will be more appropriate for this application and when transformer experiences a voltage drop, the back boost convert will adjust the voltage accordingly.
hi. the voltage drop appears at high voltage values and big loads. at medium and small voltages it has enough current, more than other power supplies and buck/boost converters. it's not a problem for me. buck/boost converters have their own disadvantages, most of them have a very low efficiency, 80% - 90%, and work with a lower current. you can find good buck/boost converters, with better efficiency and high current, but they are expensive. as for my power supply, I have some ideas to make it even more powerful. I will modify it in a future video.
Nice Work Sorin ! I made a couple of them ! Switching power supply it's used in most electronics . Just if your working on microcontrollers based electronics a switching supply might give the designer a lot of headaches . Linear is the way to go ( if you can spear to dissipate some heat LMAo ! ) just modified one those 0 to 30 volt 0 to 3 amp DIY kit up to 0 to 25 amp . it was kinda fun . In the near future i'll post some of my own projects . Unfortunately they are not that entry level electronics . Anyway great to see peple from my own country doing this kinds of tutorials . Stay crative ! ;)
I wonder how you did this, and you got 750W from a 0-30V 0-3A (90W max) power regulator board! The supply must work like a space heater at low voltage high loads ;)
@@imnotbeluga007 those Lab bench power supplies have coil switching . its the only way not to waste all the power in heat . they swap when a higher or lower power is needed . that's why they dont have a gigantic heat sink . I made myself a 0 t0 25 amp linear power supply with the same principle . actually it's a schematic i found . It's the Mastech HY3020 . i made it to push out 25 amps in stead of 20 like the orginal version . Just cause my transformer had more current available
Salut! Super interesante și inspirationale tutorialele tale, însă, cu toate ca înțeleg engleza, cred ca ar fi util sa postezi și varianta în limba romana a aceluiași videoclip. Mai ales pentru cei care vor cu adevărat sa învețe și sa aplice ceea ce vad la tine. Ține-o tot așa. Faci o treabă super!
hi. my ATX power supply works fine, but it has 3 outputs with fixed voltages. this is a variable bench power supply. it's able to modify the voltage between 1 - 31.5V and limit the current.
You forgot to install 12v cpu fan and heatsinc to cool down IR chip circuit if these two not installed the 12v and 5v will overheat. Others are amazing what u did.
Did you account for surge? 200VA transformer needs 1amp to just operate and power surge during startup could be 5A, so you need 7A slow blow fuse or 10A fast blow fuse. It will save you from fire, that's it.
hello, thanks for the tutorial, but I'd like to draw attention to the bugs. There is no description of the rectifier diode for powering the display in the drawing. Furthermore, resistance values (2W, or 5W?) Converter type Transformer values (2x12V, or 2X24V, or 1x24V, 1x 12V?) It would be good to add these data to the schema and description, especially for other handymen who want to build such a resource.
Personally I think this PS is fabulous (just what I want) but.....I think it would have been 'really really nice' to have seen a fan fitted into the enclosure ;-)
@@Sorin_DIY I'd also like to know what those DIY power supply with fixed 3.3, 5 and 12 volts have three ground terminals instead of just one AND why not negative terminals PLUS an actual ground terminal
are you referring to my fixed voltage power supply conversion? I've added 3 negative binding posts, because I can use all outputs in the same time and I think it looks better this way. you can watch the part2 video for more info.
@@Sorin_DIY yes - I was referring to your fixed voltage power supply (another very nice project). It is my intention to combine the fixed power supply (ATX PC PS) with an adjustable / variable power supply (lap-top charger) all within the one enclosure. I agree with you about the black backing. Those two silver knobs and that sleek design looks sensational.
If anyone decides to copy this design I suggest you check that the ripple current rating of the large capacitor is significantly greater than your expected output current at high voltages i.e. the maximum power situation.
The dc suppy from rectifier circuit will charge the capacitor to 50v and the same will go to DC to DC converter module. But specified voltage for the module is up to 32v only so what can be done ? Facing same problem
theres something about THESE kinds of tutorial and build videos that i enjoy. i build a connection with the content creator on a tiny scale. its not like those basic tutorial vids with copyright free music playing the whole time, no voice over, no in-depth explanation, no warnings about current and voltage from a live wire or capacitors, i just can NOT support someone like that.
Can I solder a normal 100 kOhm resistor to a 100 kOhm multiturn potentiometer in order to get to 200 kOhm? Can't find a 200 kOhm multiturn potentiometer! My step up booster uses the 204w trimmpot
thank you bro good job 👍👍 I found it difficult to find the plastic box were can i get the plastic case And the link in the description is not functional
What is the value of two resistors connected in parallel behind the capacitor and what is their use? If the voltage behind the capacitor is about 70V, how much resistor should I use? Please help, thank you.
The resistors are used to discharge the capacitors after the power supply is turned off. there isn't a fixed value, just enough to discharge the capacitors and not get hot in long use. you can use a 6.8Kohm and 2W resistor. If you use the power supply for a long time, you can check if the resistor is heating up, then you can use a more powerful resistor like 5W.
