This is the very simple general purpose variable power supply capable of delivering 0-15V DC output with about 1A electric current. The power supply circuit has regulated output and can be used for most small electronic circuit application.
This power supply circuit is very simple in construction, finding materials, easy and low cost. The output voltage is stabilized and regulated in the range of 0V to +15 V, supplied with a maximum current of 1 A. The adjustment is done in potensiometer R2. The Q1 is a classic power transistor and needs to be mounted on heatsink, and a constantly heated when working in the area of the peak current. The type of transformer is standard and can be found easily the market. The 4 rectifier diodes 1N4007 can be replaced with a standard 1A bridge diode.
