P2 sets the output voltage and must be a logarithmic taper type, in order to obtain a more linear scale voltage indication. Yo

Here a variable power supply circuit which the output voltage can be adjusted. The stabilizer IC may be changed with different value as needed, example 7815 for 15v maximum voltage. Component Parts List: T1 Transformer 10:1 Secondary 24V @ 2A BR1 Bridge Rectifier 50V PIV 2A rating C1 4700u (35V) C2 0.001u C3 2200u (35V) C4 0.001u C5 4.7u (25) C6 0.01u R1 10k potentiometer L1 see text U1 7805 N.B. This may be changed for different output voltages e.g. 7812 for higher output voltage ZD1 15V zener @ 1.3W The specific inductance of the ferrite (core)is important. A core should be chosen to work within the specific frequency as stated by the manufacturer. L1 is a powder core and has 32 turns of 0.75mm wire. The transformer has a 240V primary and has a secondary rated 24V at 2A. The bridge rectifier contains 4 diodes, their current rating needs to be high with respect to the transformers output current; if not the current may damage the diodes. C1 is the mainfiltering capacitor, the suppl
