I'm trying to do a project where I'm creating a linear power supply for a pre-amp of an audio circuit. The main focus on the project is the power supply itself.
I'm needing some help explaining how this circuit works (Attached), mainly why there is use of electrolytic capacitors in parallel to the capacitors. I've altered the circuit to get a 40v output from a 230v input.
Also, how do I add overcurrent and overvoltage protection?
If anyone can break it down into simple terms I would be appreciative, I'm not a huge electronics boffin and this is just a small part of a course.
