TL431 linear power supply

mike_mike:
Hello, I built the power supply from the attached image but I found that it is oscillating. What should I do to prevent the oscillations that appeared on the scope at the output of the power supply as a sine wave with vpp amplitude of about a few tens of volts ?
While the power supply was oscillating, the voltage drop on the 1N4148 diode was 4V instead of 0.7V and there was a high frequency noise.
Also, the load was about 6-7A at 25Vdc output.

What should I do to eliminate the oscillations ?

*in the tested schematic, R6 was 2 0.1R in parallel resistors.

Try adding some frequency compensation to the TL431. Start with a series 1K and 1uF between K and R.

What is the purpose of R4 and R12?

They improve the transient response by discharging the base-emitter capacitance, when the base current decreases.

What is the frequency of oscillation?

Get rid of C2.  It belongs either at the load or where the leads enter the chassis.

AC bypass R18 with a low value capacitor.

Swap the positions of R8 and R9.  Then AC bypass the top fixed resistor with a capacitor or series capacitor and resistor.  This adds phase lead and works in combination with xavier60's suggestion.

Lower the value of R4.
