24V and 25V Power Supply with 2A Current

I am looking for a 25V Power Supply with 2A current for my Application. A regulated supply.

TA – US

Here is a simple to build regulated power supply. The two diodes are to boost the 24V to 25V DC. It uses regulator 7824 and TIP2955 PNP Transistor to boost current.

Thanks alot! Do you know of a good transformer manufacturer that has the one you specify? Also, is that “100V 3A” at the bridge the rating on the diodes? Also does the transistor circuit increase the voltage to the regulator so that it is 3 or more volts above the regulating voltage? Lastly, is your ground reference on the gnd of the regulator?

Wait, one more….this is + or – 25 volts correct?
Thanks alot!

1. choose a transformer with a close match of what is available.

2.”100V 3A” at the bridge is the minimum diode rating also(or use 4 x 1N5408). “100V 3A” is also minimum bridge rating use a close match.

3.to make a bridge with 4 diodes refer my other circuits, there are many.

4. 22V AC leads to around 30V unrectified DC which is good, if the 30V becomes more, the heatsink needs to be very big.

5. the ground of regulator is lifted by (0.7*2) by 2 diodes to provide 1 V above 24V, as 25V regulator does not exist. the power supply ‘neg’ can be grounded or earthed,

6. the supply is a+25 V from ground or negative, but things are only relative.

7.if you need a dual supply 3 terminal , that is ground +25 and -25 then for -25 one more circuit using 7924 and tip3055(npn) has to be made.

8. use any high current pnp transistor (5A) you have put a heatsink with heatsink compound.
