just built this kit,schematic attached,it works fine but if i turn it off when its in cc mode i get a brief spike on the output,in cv mode its fine,is this normal?,if so it there a fix bar chucking it in the bin?,regards m3vuv |

This reminds me of the old school power supplies , lm358 http://www.electronics-lab.com/project/0-30v-laboratory-power-supply/ , I'd say it's a keeper, have you tried turning the current and voltage fully down on power off, apart from that, have a tinker with it, for hobbyist electronics it should be fine. Fingers crossed . |

This looks like the 2ma-3A, 30V power supply kit that has been much discussed on this forum. Have a look at this thread and, in particular, the comments by Audioguru: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/bangood-psu-enhancements/ |

if the current and voltage are turned fully down it wont do it as its then not in cc mode,its only in cc mode that it does it. |

It's a design issue unless you assembled the kit wrong. The original design was copied from 1978 (Practical Electronics 1978 October) and used LM741's. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/0-30v-0-3a-psu-audiogurus-version/msg2239764/#msg2239764 R13, R14 were changed for better control of switch on/off spikes, I think 160R and 12k in Rev. 7 Normally, when power is switched off, C3 discharges first then Q1 turns on to shut off the output, until C1 is discharged. But under load, C1 can discharge first so the +ve rail sags and the op-amp outputs a nasty blip. The PSU needs an output off switch, or undervoltage lockout added. |
