0-30V 20A Circuito regulador

de tensão ajustável de alta
corrente
Por Apichet Garaipoom 6 de maio de 2019 45 comentários

Se você estiver procurando por um  circuito regulador de tensão ajustável

de alta corrente . Esta pode ser a melhor escolha para você.

Ele pode fornecer a corrente de saída de 20 A ou 400 watts e pode ajustar a

tensão de 4 a 20 V - ou aplicar de  0 a 30 V  facilmente. É de boa qualidade,
excelente desempenho e durável com PCB.

Para uso em telecomunicações eletrônicas, transmissor de rádio de alta

potência, etc.

Este projeto usa alguns componentes. Por causa do uso de quatro

reguladores de tensão LM338—-5A e IC-741 —
amplificador operacional popular —no modo de fonte de alimentação linear.

Tente construir então você vai gostar!

Como funciona
O LM338K que trazemos para uso é um circuito regulador de tensão DC do
tipo flutuante, o estilo de aplicações simples deste IC, conforme mostrado na
Figura 1

24/07/2021 Circuito regulador de tensão ajustável de alta corrente, 0-30V 20A
Como usar o LM338 IC no básico

Circuito da Figura 1 , em condições normais, a tensão entre o pino Adj e a

saída do pino é igual a 1,25 V estável que a passagem de fluxo R1, R2 terá
constante também.

A tensão de saída deve ser igual à tensão no pino Adj + 1,25 volt ou
calculada da seguinte forma

Vo = 1,25 (R1 + R2) / R1

Alta corrente com paralelo LM338

No IC-LM338 normal pode fornecer até 5 amperes, mas para carregar no
máximo 20 amperes, vamos colocá-lo em paralelo.

O que se deve observar, quando conectamos muitos IC com forma paralela, é

a corrente média fluindo através do circuito. Cada um igualmente.

A maneira mais fácil é conectar um resistor ao pino de saída do IC, conforme

mostrado na figura 2 .

O valor dos resistores-Rs usados ​para isso, será muito menor do que o R1.

Com base no circuito, podemos definir.

IoRs = 1,25 - Vo (R1 / (R1 + R2))

E a partir do trabalho de circuitos estabelecidos para baixo, será.

IiRs = 1,25 - Vo (R1 / (R1 + R2))

A partir dessas duas equações, que são todas iguais, é que Io = Ii.

Ou simplesmente, a corrente através do LM338 IC são iguais.

O LM338 de conexão em forma paralela

Na prática, não temos circuitos para usá-lo. Uma vez que a tensão na queda,
Rs mudará com base na corrente que flui através da carga e na tensão
referenciada do IC. Além disso, diferentes um do outro.

Controles externos do LM338 usando

uA741
 

Portanto, precisamos controlar os circuitos externos. Para controlar a tensão

no ajuste do pino, conforme mostrado na Figura 3.

https://www.eleccircuit.com/high-power-supply-regulater-0-30v-20a-by-lm338/ 3/18
24/07/2021 Circuito regulador de tensão ajustável de alta corrente, 0-30V 20A
A partir do circuito, veremos que no pino negativo do IC há uma meia tensão
da tensão de saída. E no pino positivo ter igual à tensão referenciada.

Que é causado por uma corrente constante fluindo através do transistor para
Rs e P1.

Das propriedades do circuito do amplificador operacional à tensão de saída

de nível regulado que. Até ter a mesma tensão na entrada do pino.

Portanto, a tensão na base do pino de um transistor-Q1 é igual à tensão no

pino negativo do IC.

A tensão estes, para fazer mudanças na resistência do transistor, causando

mudança de tensão no ponto referenciado.

A resistência do transistor é inversamente proporcional à tensão de saída,

para compensar a perda de tensão de Rs. Devido ao fluxo não igual desta
corrente de carga.

Regulador DC de alta potência 4-20 volts 20 amps por LM338

From all principles above, we have circuits applications, as shown

in Figure 4, if you want to add the IC-LM338, enabling them to be higher
current.
For a transformer that can supply at least 30 amperes, and voltage
secondary coil, should not be less than 18 volts.

To optimize the circuits for the capacitor-C2 should better use of 20000uF.

Hi,
Is it 5 Watts enough for 0.3 ohm resistors? If 5
Amps(peak 7A) current flow, what is the voltage
should be? 1V? I don’t understand how this circuit
works? I don’t want to copy – paste. I must know
how its works. Because it will be voltage regulator
of the my school project. I have to write a report.
So, can you explain the circuit?
Please help me.

no Jaydeep, it will now work properly with 50v, I

built a power supply recently and the transformer
was 24 + 24v which rectified and filteres was giving
around 52v , the regulation worked but the ability to
provide current was zero. when I modified the input
to be 24v then the lm338k magically started
delivering current. properly.

Jaydeep Rathore Reply

June 18, 2016, 5:29 am

Ty Mario…it did’t worked at 50v, i had to reduce to

28v….but it worked and was delivering upto
10amps as my requirement.

Hello Atul Kumar,

I would like to express my opinion.

When we bring the devices together in

parallel. We often add a small resistor in
series. To compensate for the current And
protect those devices. You may be able to
use 0.33 ohms 5W.

Although this circuit is difficult (for me), I

believe you can do it, hopefully you will
benefit from it.

Don’t forget to share me too.

In truth, I haven’t built this circuit yet.

But I like this circuit and I think it will be

I think it cannot be used with 60V. The

However, I believe you can make it. And

transformador tenga en el secundario 40 Vrms.
Todos los reguladores deben ir montados en

Hello Theodore Alexopoulos,

First Thanks for your visiting my site.

How are you?

When you are interested in this circuit, you

are a good person. It is a big size circuit.

I’m not quite sure. I understand your question

well enough? But I would like to express my
opinion.

Normally when we parallel the transformers.

The current will increase. But the voltage
remains the same.

So it is 12V 600VA output.

You may connect it in series. They will get

24V
300VA. https://www.eleccircuit.com/multiples-
