This is a high quality power supply with a continuously variable stabilized output adjustable between 0 and 30VDC. the LM 723 is the heart of the power supply which drives the BD137 and then the 2N3055. The circuit provides short circuit protection. And has great stability at voltage changes.
0-30 Volts / 2,5A Variable Power Supply



Drive the circuit with 24 Volts 3A from a transformer. the 2N3055 needs a good heat sink.

Max output is only 15v depending by internal LM723 stabilisizer from pin 6.

Output will theoretically reach 30V but the current limit is a bit of concern! 4 amps by my calculation which could result in destruction of the 2N3055 even if it is mounted on the largest of heatsinks when the output voltage is set low and current limit is reached. Urgh.....who designs such crap?

we had worked out on this circuit and we found few faults in it , the connection of transistor bd135 is wrong , it is to be like that in place of emmitter it will be coollecter and vice-versa and in it we will use a 15-015 transformer....
