The fixed voltage power supply is useful in applications where an adjustable output is not required. This supply is simple, but very flexable as the voltage it outputs is dependant only on the regulator and transformer you choose. The maximum output current is 1.5A.

This is the schematic of the Fixed Voltage Polarity Power Supply

Notes

  1. Since this project operates from 120 (or 220, or 240, etc.) volts AC, it MUST be built inside a case.
  2. U1 will reauire a heatsink.
  3. You will need to choose T1 and U1 to match the voltage you want. Use the table below as a reference.

Hello, I've been building grow light panels using cement mixing tubs from a home center and high output LEDs. The combination of 1 blue (465nm) to every 3 red (650nm) works very well. The LEDs that I use are 10,000mcd with iF of 30ma at 3.6vF. To this point I have been buying used 36VDC golf cart battery charging transformers. These chargers average 36VDC with spikes up to 36.2VDC so I run multiple series of 10 LEDs with 6.8Ohm 1/4 watt resistors per series. I use a grid of 17 x 21 with 3/4" on center. This leaves 3 LEDs unaccounted for so I place them on the panel enclosure as 'decorations'. My problem is that all of this depends on golf cart battery chargers remaining available and inexpensive. I find that it is getting harder and harder to find then. I think that most carts are now operating at 24VDC or 48VDC and that 36VDC is an obsolete design. That just means that I need to build my own. The design pulls 1,080ma of current and draws 39,100.32mw of output power. I have looked at 18VDC but an ideal design pulls 2,160ma of current at 18VDC. 2A is not quite enough and 5A transformers are ridiculously expensive. Is there a design out there for a 110/120VAC to 36VDC power supply? Thank you

a friend from U.S.A. gave me an HP Printer/Scanner without a power supply, since i am fond electronics assembling, i want to assemble a 24V greater than1.5A fixed regulator. Please help and provide me Thank you very much, STRAMM
