    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    I remember seeing that on the news well bad floods :eek:i feel for you budy getting caught in that ,we get floods nearly every year but never been that bad good for getting jetski out tho .Ok ill have a look at them but they will probably be out of my league , but they may give me a idea how...

    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    It is all earthed im not that much of a noob bluejets lol o_O . It was just my first circuit build and I didnt know how to understand pins of components and drawings , not knowing that basic stuff causing me to massivly fail ... i have done house wiring a few times in my life and know all the...

    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    Hi all i been buisy rebuilding this psu, I thought I would update you with a few pics "almost there" i need to wire up the ammeter now . I have two wires one black and one white i think i need a shunt i have connected these two wires to the negative about 5 inches appart from eachother...

    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    Hi bob.I can finally finish this project when the new one arrives . I would like to know if I can fit a ammeter without a shunt ..the emitters wires are fat wires.

    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    No bob only one pin was marked ac and one + the other two were blank ,witch is why I asked the shop what was what before attaching wires, the guy at the shop said the side wich had the ac on it was ac and the spade behind it , he apologiseed and sending another for free .

    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    Thanks LOL:rolleyes: I thought the same when I smoked the rectifier " I may end up knitting after all " , I mailed the shop I bought it from he said he meant opposite corner apologiseed and sending me another for free lol.. rolls of wool not rolls of wire :p. Thanks for the pics :)

    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    I have already tested it bob its no good ,0.1 all over . The place I bought it from said the ac in was where the ac marking is and the terminal behind it and the dc is the + marking and the terminal behind that . I have looked at a data sheet for this but it does not say anything about the ac...

    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    Just giving an update to my american friends , it is working good of one transistor , now has a bypass cap on pin 2 and pin 3 , I cept the led and resistor on pin 2 , I think it helps but it does blink at 1.7v I think that is the new cap in place on the pin 2 doing its job , i was going to fit...

    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    Hi bob , its 1 in the morning where I am . Are you all just waking up lol , I got a hour or so before I turn it in , so I thought I'd come and have a go at powering up these transistors without smoking , modemhead said about using permanant resistors for a load wich would work ,I have 2 lcd...

    LM317 2N3055 Variable Circuit Problems

    Hi all , are up for another round of psu's lol. The results for steve ...317 still working fine 1.3v pot turned down 8.3 pot turned up while connected to the 9v. With 317 disconnected 9v removed and connected to the bridge rectifier 21.7v across caps,.. With 317 connected pot turned down is...
