Hello All;
I have now finished my first project and nothing blew up on me so I consider this project a success.
The design and drawing are shown at: http://www.sentex.ca/~mec1995/circ/VarReg1/VarReg1.html
There is however one issue that is not working correctly.
I purchased an Analog 30-Volt meter as indicated in the instructions and have it connecter as shown to a 10K Burns Trim Pot. The problem is that when I move my 5K Potentiometer to the right to achieve full power to the output lines the meter only shows 15 volts, not the 30 Volts that I thought it would show.
I checked the output with a meter and it shows approximately 32 volts DC
coming out of the box so that part of the circuit is fine. I tried to adjust the Bourns Pot and little difference could me achieved.
I have redone the wiring with heavier wire and checked the connects several times. All appears correct, can any one tell me where I might have gone wrong?
Thanks you in advance.
