    Guys I really need help with this project, so I started building it from scratch, got me a good 500W power supply unit from the used computers store, I think it was really cheap.
    I disassembled it, cut the wires as the video shows to work with them easily... and got the other parts from the electronics store, the thing is... I was trying to do the first holes with the hand drill but my cat just keeps standing there, staring and judging every movement I make, it won't pass... I have tried everything... from food to scratches and it won't move from the project table... I'm stuck at this, you guys can help me pleaseeee? I'm desperate to finish this power supply, but my cat won't PASSSS! HELP!

But in power suply there is a yellow color wire having voltage is 12v thats ok,,, but ampere is low as about 1ampere to 2ampere only (which is not suffient to charge my car bettery). My problem is that how to increase the amperage of (yellow 12v wire) so that it charge my bettery easily.

    • @s4rg380
      @s4rg380 4 года назад +1

      Since the rotary selector switch is merely there to select the input of the Volt/Amp meter, and you still retain power on 3.3/5/12V rails regardless of the switch's position (which is very useful FYI), I geuss I do have the "same level of genius", though, not in the bad light you painted it.
      You however, neither seem to know why that would be useful, nor that it is an inherent trait of an ATX switching PSU. Assuming you know what the "switching" part of the description entails.

    You just gave me a super awesome idea sir.
    Why run all 4 12 volt connections to one plug? Just make 4 12 volt terminals (+ and - pairs), 4 5volt terminals (+ and - )and 5 3.3 volt terminals (+ and - )and 1 heavy duty 12 volt terminal (+ and - ) with amperage control for my electroplating.
    Sounds like it needs a big case right? You are correct in that thinking. I am just going to re use the old pc case that the power supply came in and repaint it a nice metallic finish to make it look all sciencey.
    I might even put voltage readouts on each receptacle paring if there is enough room for 16 readouts. That is a dream lab setup on a stock Dell 550 watt power supply. :D

    Perfect! Had a little jolt of education there. First time seeing the current reading independent from the voltage source.. could have broken some misconceptions fast when I was in school.. So you have to just be alert of the max current ratings.. the problem might be that you wouldn't be able to tell what you are doing to a single rail when you are using more than one at a time.. but I agree with the practical boundaries.. I would also not likely need more than that.

  • @questionablecommands9423
    @questionablecommands9423 5 лет назад +1

    The -12v line can be combined with the +12v line to give you a 24v output. YMMV on if this will kill the power supply after a time, though.

    I really like this - as it puts everything into the ATX enclosure. Most add an additional enclosure, which I haven't thought were necessary. However, I have the same comment I have with other electronic projects I've watched...
    Buy a heat-gun! I watch people using a match or a lighter to shrink heat-shrink tubing, and it is so ineffective and so inaccurate (and possibly dangerous). In the US you can buy a heat gun for ~$10. This will make your projects much easier and can be used for many other purposes in your projects.

One or two blows will cut a perfect corner through the steel case.Thanks for all your effort in producing this video.

    @ojkolsrud1 6 лет назад +5

    Hi! This PSU looks really good! However, if you have three sets of banana plugs/binding posts (3V3, 5V, 12V) - why do you need the rotary switch? I would think that when you make these, you either have the rotary switch for selecting voltage and one set of binding posts, OR you do it a bit simpler with only the three sets of binding posts (even simpler is one red for the different voltages and one common ground).

      so if no rotaty switch so ho can remove anothers banana post during use one? i mean inorder that shows volt and current of just one post?
      just one other concept remains :
      use really instead of direct wirin to rotary to pervent spark and damage( anyway its randomly shot down unit becausr of china responsibility to probife minimums!😁

    • @Sorin_DIY
      @Sorin_DIY  6 лет назад +5

      hi. that is a good idea. for this power supply it will work. but the fan is consuming very little current and there are some power supplies which may need a bigger load. also you need to solder a connector to the yellow and black wires, so you can easily remove the fan cover if you need to reopen the power supply.
      some modern PSUs have variable voltage output for the fan, so the fan's speed will variate depending on the load or PSU temperature. if you connect the fan to the 12V output, it will ad a load, but the fan will always work on maximum speed.

    • @Sorin_DIY
      @Sorin_DIY  5 лет назад

      hi. if you use more current than the ammeter can measure, most of them will display "- - -" A and shouldn't get damaged. if you draw more current than the PSU can deliver, the PSU should have overcurrent and short circuit protections and should turn off, as you can see in my part2 video. you can use a volt/ammeter with a shunt, it can measure current up to 100A, but usually they are not precise with low current readings.

    And thirdly, I would like to ask you that why are you giving three binding posts for GROUND? You can use one ground only I think... Can I know why you did so?

    • @Sorin_DIY

      hi. I will probably make another one in the future with all the features included. but to answer your questions for now: 1) I've made a separate variable bench power supply, you can check out my other videos for that; 2) the 3 outputs are available in the same time and independent from the switch. the switch is only for the voltmeter. please watch the part2 video for more info; 3) the 3 negative binding posts are for connecting 3 loads on the 3 outputs in the same time and because I like symmetric arrangements, so I think it looks better this way. again, watch the part2 video for more info.

    No. 12V delivers the most current. In very old ATX or AT power supplies sure, 5V did supply the most currend but these days (computers that are 15 year old or newer) have the most current on 12V. That's why your cpu, and gpu are powered by the 12v line.

    Deadly. Including the side hole pun.
    Mains and control voltage in one switch? Great idea. No idea of isolation.
    Protection earth: botch when attaching without cable lugs. This makes my stomach turn.
    Also: low voltages at the output, right next to the mains voltage supply line! Your shrink tube is supposed to be a joke, right? It can never serve as a correct isolating distance for mains voltage. And definitely not in the event of a lightning strike, when your super-mad botch falls down or you pour in coffee (Only some. There are many other error situations that an amateur ignores due to a lack of knowledge).
    Now you could say, "That never happens" ... Exactly, it only happens ONCE!:/ Devices that are properly processed according to (safety) standards are suitable for precisely such cases ... Without killing their user.
    P.S .: 10A through the rotary switch? **facepalm**
    All this bullshit is completely irresponsible. And then in front of an audience. I would be ashamed ... or wait for the prosecutor.

  • @neodiy
    @neodiy 4 года назад

    You are really genius to make the voltage stable add the resistor ...does it increase the current too? I need it to be to kick start a 12 Volt DC motor which require at least 5 Amp to kick start it but in normal turns it actually uses around 1.5 Amp. I know the SMPS has an Auto switch which will shut down the PSU automatically when it release too much amp more than it require to prevent it from damage. But i really need it just for kickstarting the motor. Would the resistor like you did will help?

    • @Sorin_DIY
      @Sorin_DIY  4 года назад

      hi. I think it will work with a dummy load resistor connected to the same rail. you can try to connect more resistors in parallel, to increase the current consumption if needed. you can also add a big capacitor in parallel, 6300uF at 25V, it will help to keep the voltage more stable.

    • @Sorin_DIY

      the rotary switch is for the voltmeter. the ammeter is connected on the negative output in series with the load. the negative wire is common to all the outputs. you connect it like I did in my video with the 2 thick ammeter wires. one or more black negative wires come from the PSU circuit board, goes to one of the ammeter wires (probably the negative one) the other ammeter wire is connected to the negative binding posts.

    Nicely explained and steady vues, and no loud horrid music, that's great..
    Take note RUclipsrs, This is a perfect example on how to do a useful video.. My only comment is that the current sense wire and resistor is a waste of energy.
    Perhaps using a 12v 12w bulb would be a good idea so your power supply could have a desk lamp fitted on top to light up what ever you are making when using this power supply.. Note the output smoothing is usually done by the motherboard in a PC, those nice rows of capacitors that when dried out burst open and short out the motherboard. It's nice if you can fit some big value capacitors to the two 12v outputs and the 5v use a 16V cap for the 12v output and a 10v cap for the 5v output. use the highest UF value you can fit inside the box or even mount them on the rear of the box. Then fit a 1k resistor across each capacitor to empty the cap and lower the voltage to zero when it's switched off. a 1/4 watt resistor is fine for this.. as the current will only be 150 milliwatts .. great Video and well done.
