Power Supply

[GraFxPro]

I have a 13.8VDC, (adj. from 11VDC to 15.5VDC) 7 amp continous, 11A ics @ 50%duty cycle linear power supply.

What I want to do is to build a regulator with displays that will regulate the voltage and the current lower then the 15.5VDC max that it puts out. I want to beable to plug it in to the power supply so I dont have to tear it apart. Or should I just build a new regulator and gut the power supply and use the transformer and bridge (there is 24VDC from the bridge before it enters the regulator section?

The transformer has 4 leads coming out of it, a yellow and white coming out of each side. The yellow leads go to the bridge and the white go to the regulator section.

Thanks in advance......

Hi GraFxPro,

How much current do you need, and do you want to go all the way down to zero volts?

I want to be able to regulate the current (I really dont know how many amps I need) and have it go down to zero volts. The reason that I am looking to have a "plug in" regulator is so that I can still use the power supplys full Amps and Volts. I guss what I am trying to say is that I want to beable to plug in a regulator when I need lower Volts (less then 12volts) and Current (less then 7 amps) for the project that I might be working on.
