What Is High Current Dc Power Supply ?
As the name implies, high current power supplies can deliver large amounts of current to a load. High current power supplies can be of two basic types: high current linear power supplies, and high current switch mode power supplies.
High current linear power supplies consist of an input transformer, full wave rectifier bridge, and dissipative regulator circuit. They have very low ripple, very good regulation, and no switching frequency that can cause unwanted EMI.
High current linear power supplies are larger and heavier than switching power supplies and are less efficient.High current switch mode power supplies, sometimes referred to as SMPS power supplies, switchers, or switched mode power supplies, regulate the output voltage using a complex high frequency switching technique that employs pulse width modulation and feedback.
Acopian switching regulated power supplies also employ extensive EMI filtering and shielding to attenuate both common and differential mode noise conducted to the line and load.
Galvanic isolation is standard in our switchers, affording our users input to output and output to ground isolation for maximum versatility.
Acopian high current switching regulated power supplies are highly efficient, small and lightweight, and are available in both AC-DC single and wide-adjust output and DC-DC configurations.
LM317 is a three terminal voltage regulator IC from National Semiconductors. The IC is capable of delivering up to 1A of output current. Input voltage can be up to 40V and Output Continue Reading…..

High Ampere Constant Voltage Power Supply With 7805-7809-7812...
With the help of this circuit you can make high ampere constant voltage Power supply like 5amp-10amp-20amp-50amp….. and so on. 7812 high current voltage regulator circuit can increase the load current capacity by adding a transistor. 78XX Three-terminal regulator manual contains positive regulators using NPN transistors, otherwise negative regulators (79xx) use PNP transistors. The following is an example of a 12V DC voltage regulator circuit using IC 7812, which aims to increase the load current of 1A IC 7812 to a higher level (10A). The outermost transistor uses the highest load current.
By adding three complementary MJ2955 transistors, the simple voltage regulator circuit below has a rated load current of up to 10 A. The charging current capacity can be changed by increasing or decreasing the number of MJE2955. A resistance of 4.7 To 10 Ohm can be used to prevent current flooding and stabilize the input voltage of IC 7812.
Since the no-load current capacity of 7812 is greater than 1 A, it is necessary to provide 1 A of output current as a safety fuse on the IC and prevent high current transients. On the IC 7812 and MJ2955 transistors, a heat sink should be installed so that the load current generates enough heat, For the 7912 negative regulator you need to replace the MJE2955 transistor with another model, such as MJE3055, 2N3055 or TIP3055. Hope this brief description helps increase the load current of the 7812 regulator circuit
