So hey, I got a project to build a Power Supply and I got me a dilemma.
So I got this 32V 3A Center-tapped Transformer and it cost a lot of money. Now, I just realized that my IC regulators (LM7815) has a maximum input voltage of 40V. Since I still have a filtering capacitor before the IC, my regulator gets a total of 32*sqrt(2) volts or approx. 45 volts.
I think this'll break my regulator and I'm thinking of a way to remedy this. So far I'm at a blank.
As much as possible I'd like to go the more economic way. I've already used up a lot of money for my parts.
Hope to hear from you guys.
Thanks!
