Hi guys, im a begginer in eletronics and i'm having difficulties with my first school project. If anyone coul help me please!
I have to find the values of the resistances in a series regulator with overcurrent protection. The circuit is this, if anyone could help me would really save me! i have to calculate values for differents V(in), so it would be best if anyone could point me the direction in a more generic way. Thanks!

 

hi Rail,
Welcome to AAC.
As it is a Homework assignment, we expect you to post your attempt at solving the problem.
We can then help you thru it.

Walk through the circuit and annotate the voltage on as many nodes as possible. The start looking for constraints on the currents in as many paths as possible.

 

Ah! My first variable power supply was that circuit, but minus the over current protection.
Welcome RaiRodrigues.
Start by trying to figure out the zener current needed so then you can find R4 for the input volts.
Show us some attempts and then we can help. Actually, it will most likley be others as it is after 2AM here and I should be asleep

Hello there and welcome,

Quick questions:
Do you know how transistors turn on and/or off?
In other words, what makes transistors turn on or off.
Have you worked with simpler transistor circuits before this, like say with only one transistor and some resistors?
