Simple 12V Portable and Mobile Power Supply Schematic

Image
This is the Simple 12V Portable and Mobile Power Supply Schematic .This type of power supply can be built quite inexpensively and needs only a minimum of circuitry. This circuit will give output current of 1 amp, well stabilized and smoothed. Simple 12V Portable and Mobile Power Supply Schematic The smoothing and regulation is provided by IC1 7812 which is a 12V monolithic voltage regulator. Thisportable power supplyunit incorporates output current limiting and is therefore not damaged by accidental short term short circuits or other forms of output overloading.   components Resistor1/3 watt 5% R1 1.8k Capacitors Cl 2200uF 25V electrolytic C2 100nF polyester (C280) C3 100nF polyester (C280) Semiconductors ICI uA78I2 (12 volt 1 amp positive regulator) D1 to D4 1N4002(4 off) Switch S1 DPST toggle type Transformer T1 Standard mains primary, 15 — 0 — 15 volt 2 amp secondary

The Portable Solar Lantern

This portable solar lantern circuit uses 6 volt/5 watt solar panels are now widely available. With the help of such a photo-voltaic panel we can construct an economical, simple but efficient and truly portable solar lantern unit. Next important component required is a high power (1watt) white LED module. When solar panel is well exposed to sunlight, about 9 volt dc available from the panel can be used to recharge a 4.8 volt /600 mAh rated Ni-Cd batterypack. Here red LED (D2) functions as a charging process indicator with the help of resistor R1. Resistor R2 regulates the charging current flow to near 150mA. Solar Lantern Circuit Schematic Assuming a 4-5 hour sunlit day, the solar panel (150mA current set by the charge controller resistor R2) will pump about 600 – 750 mAh into the battery pack. When power switch S1 is turned on, dc supply from the Ni-Cd battery pack is extended to the white LED (D3). Resistor R3 determines the LED current. Capacitor C1 works as a buffer. Note: After con...
