The standard variable voltage regulator type LM150 is fairly easily available, but at times its out, which is limited to about 3 amperes, may prove to e a limiting factor to its utility, nut the simple modification describe here allows the to be enhanced to about 6 amperes. The circuit has inbuilt safe area protection and thermal overload protection.The circuit has been tested for lone regulation of the order of about 0.01% volt and load regulation of about 0.1% volt.
The circuit works on principle similar to the compact 10A power supplies. The two LM150 regulators are wired in parallel mode with IC3 which controls them. The output voltage is given by the relation
Vout=1,25x(1+R5/R4) volts. The input voltage may lie anywhere in the range of 12 to 30 volts.
The IC must be adequately heat sinked in order to obtain full output current all over the operative temperature range
