INTRODUCTION

A  variable dc power supply is also known as adjustable dc power supply.That

allows the users to easily adjust the output voltage and current trough
potentiometer. It is a simple variable dc power supply which gives 0 to 24 dc
volts as an output. Here we use a simple full wave rectifier along with a voltage
regulator which give a constant output and its output can be increased by using a
pair of voltage divider resistor in which one resistance is variable to get variable
output.

 LM 317T VOLTAGE REGULATOR

 This monolithic integrated circuit is an adjustable 3-terminal positive

voltage regulator designed to supply more than 1.5 A of load current with
an output voltage adjustable over a 1.2 V to 37 V. It employs internal
current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area compensation.

 BRIDGE RECTIFIERS 

 Bridge Rectifiers are circuits that convert alternating current (AC) into 

direct current (DC) using diodes arranged in the bridge circuit
configuration. Bridge rectifiers typically comprise of four or more diodes.
The output wave generated is of the same polarity irrespective of the
polarity at the input.

 FUTURE PLAN
Direct current or DC power system has multiple uses, it can be used for the
charging of batteries to supplying large power for the electronic systems, motors,
etc. Every home’s power circuit has an in-built DC inverter system which provides DC-
style power to the devices present inside the case. Laptops are another example as they too
contain a battery that delivers power in the DC format.

CONCLUSION
At the end our variable dc power supply is completed which give variable dc volts and it
ranges from 0 to 24 v here we can’t get less then 1.3v because it is the output voltage of
the regulator which can be increased . the power supply has few components, covers a
small area and is very simple in design
