i dont understand. in projects Bill Of Material said use 24v 3a Transformer for making 0-30v 0-30a power supply. but u said if i use 24v 4a i will get 0-30v 2.8a !? how can its possible ? so if we use 24v 3a transformer we will get less than 2.2a! so its not 0-30v 0-3a dc power supply! the circuit current cutoff (short circuit protection) is 2a or 3a? if its 3a and we use 3a transformer for making project (taking 2.1a) its never cutoff the output for short circuits! anyway my heat sink were bought from local stores and they do not provide datasheet for this items!

thank you so much for your reply sir. forget about using hi amp switching power supply instead of transformer. it was just a Curiosity question. but about increasing the output amperes as you said for taking 4A from output i should change my transformer with 24v 5.7A. so if i use 24v 4A transformer then how much amperes i can take from output? cooling 2N3055 is not a problem. best heat sink and turbo fan used for that. each 2N3055 can handle how much amperes in best cooling situation ? in Chinese power supplies coarse and fine works well. they use same opamp and other parts for that. volumes are : Voltage Coarse : 50K - Voltage Fine : 5K Current Coarse : 10K - Current Fine : 1K before i asking my questions here i decided to use larger knobs as you said. but fine volume works better. *i just completed the rear panel laser cutting file Designed with extreme accuracy. so if anyone use the box just like mine then he/she can use this files without any changes. but of course you can change it as you like. the front panel will be done soon. ebay link for used parts will be placed here.

hey guys. im new here. i made this power supply for my small workshop and i have some question about it. first Q : how can i add Fine volume for voltage and current! (Coarse and Fine) second Q : this circuit cut off the output voltage when we take more than 3.0 Amperes. its ok. but my transformer can deliver 4.0 Amperes and i want to change this cutoff option to 4Amp. third Q : can we use 24v 10a (or 30v 10a or 48v 10a) Switching power supply instead of transformer in input and make it more powerful ? thanks guys. in attachments you can see my power supply v1.0 i make this one for my friend and now im about make another one for myself. please answer my question. after completing the project i will upload Corel Draw files (Front and Rear Panel Plaxi Laser Cut) * That "Made in IRAN" is just for fun all parts purchased from china images are for v1.0. in this new one i made a lots of changes in front and rear panel. this one has no volt/amp meter yet. but the rectangular cuts are place for them. thanks guys and im sorry for my bad english
