Chinese 0-30v 3a psu issues
m3vuv:
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
RIKRIK:
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 .
ledtester:
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:

m3vuv:
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.

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.
