limits: output voltage: 2V (minimum of lm723) - 28V (max of lm358) output current: 3A parallel, 1.5A series (max of transformer) new features: - working current limit :P - calculate actual filtering cap value for some value of ripple at 3A - I=CdV/dt, C=Idt/dV, dt=8.33ms (one half of 1/60 because full wave), for 3Vpp ripple at 3A, 3*0.00833/3 = 8,330uF, (2x 50V 4700uF in parallel) for 1Vpp ripple at 3A, 3*0.00833/1 = 24,990uF :o - calculate worst case power dissapation value for pass transistor - at 100C case temp, 3055 can safely dissipate about 60W 15V-2V = 13V*3A = 39W (with relay switching xformer leads at 15V) should probably still add better heatsink with fan - use keyed cable connectors - high side current meausurement resistor - need to use differential amplifier with good CMRR - SCR overvoltage protection - relays: - on/off switch disables outputs - switchable output - voltage range switches transformer configuration - 2-15V parallel output, 3A - 15-28V series output, 1.5A - may need to also switch off output when changing the voltage to prevent inductive spikes from switching the xformer going to the output - kicad: - virtual symbols for off-board components (ac side protection/switch) ^ https://forum.kicad.info/t/off-board-components-in-kicad-5/22286
