    Building a linear 5v 5a powersupply for Raspberry pi streamer build.

    cheers for that. I have explained i do understand that parallel on the secondary doesn't increase the voltage, just want to point this out as i think it sounded like i believed the parallel was leading to the voltage increase. so my maths even if a bit muddled was actually correct with the...

    Building a linear 5v 5a powersupply for Raspberry pi streamer build.

    nothing has been built yet, i'm sending the compents back and restarting. i'm just looking for 230v 2 input wires and something that can out 6v and give me at least 7 amps be it the 2 secondarys in parallel or a single output on the secondary

    hi parts list for you to peruse and help with if you don't mind The Regulator https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/voltage-regulators/1770847P?cjdata=MXxZfDB8WXww&cjevent=9349db9fe9e211ee83fa54330a18b8fa&cm_mmc=UK-CJAFF-_-digipart.com-_-RS%20%20RS%20Components%20UK The rectifier is this...

    Building a linear 5v 5a powersupply for Raspberry pi streamer build.

    hi i'll get the parts list. I mucked up my post. I meant 7.2v dc after rectification and caps before the regulator. but i'm questioning that now. 6x1.414 is 8.5v near enough but i thought there would be a voltage loss of around 1.2v after rectification. Yeah I do know parallel secondary doesn't...

    Building a linear 5v 5a powersupply for Raspberry pi streamer build.

    Hi, first post so be gentle please. I over speced my first design so went back to the drawing board and did some more reading so now I'm looking at a toroidal with two secondary outputs at 6v 4.4a each. now if my maths is correct it should be(in parallel) 8.484v and 8.8a into the recitifier...

    Hi New Member

    Hello, just joined. I'm a Leeds fan and work for the NHS. Did some electronics at school long ago(tried to build a radio transmitter), and did some at uni with my software engineering module(a camera flash). Now work in I.T but decided to try my hand at a bit of electronics again. Been doing a...
