Hello.
I need to ask your tolerance first of all, I am new here (the other board I used to use was not hobbyist friendly or friendly at all).
I have searched google and electro-tech since 8AM this morning(4 hours) and it is just almost impossible for me to find a schematic for the power supply I would LOVE to build. The thing is, I also want to learn more about supplies, so I don't want a computer controlled complicated things with everything but the kitchen sink.
What I have now is a very nice (and expensive transformer) with two secondaries, which I can wire up to give me around 11 or 12 amps (and I measured 25 VAC).
What I need for my charging/Motor/amp testing etc purposes is a supply that is 9 or 10 Amp capable, and variable between 1.0 and 16 volts. I realize that my transformer voltage is more than this, so I am open to ANY advice or different voltage ranges (I can use the windings in parallel too, and have 13 VAC).
I could find nothing (but one complicated supply with the kitchen sink) on google, and nothing specifically close to my requirements here.
If someone could hook me up with a diagram/schematic for something the 1.0 to 16(or more?) range, and 9 or 10 AMP capable, I would marry them.
At this stage, my feeling is that no such supply diagram exists (but Ive seen 10 amp variable supplies at many folks's homes before).
Thanks in advance!
Edit: The supply should be regulated and current limited(as a bonus, and for me to learn how current limiting works in prac).
I also have two analog panel meters V and A, which I want to use.
