BENCH POWER SUPPLY

[Um...Me123]

That switch is controling a seperate mains circuit from the transformer one (in the same box though)

I was thinking...I am getting a 12' power cord that is the basic cord you would see on normal stuff (like the one on your soldering iron-2 conductor that is) to power this whole box.

Your house wiring is 14 guage and is spec'd to carry 15A and supply 1800W. You only have 90W so your cord will be fine. ;D

This is what my idea has been.

Hi Um...Me123

I wouldn't have done it this way, i would have connected the leds via a cap and a resistor in series and a diode connected backwards over the led and the whole thing connected directly to the mains outputs! A picture should have explained things, but i have difficulties making one at the moment, it take long time for me just now. Maybee later, if you can wait a few days.

Hi there Um...Me123, how is it going with this PSU?

Hmmm well it's not done.  Have been really busy with school and I'm just taking a break from the project.  At first I was thinking "where did all my messages go?"  I continued with this project in the board meant for the LM317 supply and I can't remember if you had made any replies in there or not but if you go look you will learn that I hooked up the LM317 backwards and fried it and the pot.  I then re-wired it the write way and thats when I figured out the LM317 was bad so now I have de-solder it all again and guy new stuff and it's just a big mess.  So I took a little break until next time we happen to go by radioshack.b

Ok, let us know when you buy new parts
