Hello everyone!
I'm trying to make a power supply that goes between 10 to 15V and is able to supply a maximum current of 1 amp.
Here is a photo with my circuit so far:
One thing to note: R11 is supposed to be the load resistance.
First thing first, I'd like to ask if there is any way to lower the current going through the diodes of the bridge rectifier without damaging the final output.
I tried limiting it with an inductor between the rectifier output and the filter capacitor and it works, but sadly it damages my output signal.
Is there any way to do it, or I'll just have to use diodes with a maximum forward current of 10 amps?
Also if you could point any flaws in my design or things I could improve, I'd like to hear some advice.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me!
