variable power supply circuit
aneesh:
hi,
i am designing a 30v5A variable supply. the circuit is similar to korad 3005 power supply, the difference is i am replacing the power transitor with pmos but it becomes very hot and temp goes on increasing. the circuit is attached.
whats wrong? why so hot ? at 20v 500ma
bin_liu:
You need to choose the heat sink according to the power loss of 150W.
Also choose a MOS tube that can withstand a lot of power continuously.
aneesh:
mosfet that i am using has good continuously current.
my plan is to design 30v 5A supply. but i cannot go above 500mA. i am using heatsink but i think there is some other problem. As there are PS in the market like dps3005 which uses IRF5210 with the same heatsink and achieves 5A.

What is your source voltage? The dps3005 will likely have tap switching to reduce dissipation and a fan to reduce temperature.
The MOSFET could also be oscillating although it need not necessarily increase dissipation.
aneesh:
input is 20v dc output is correctly regulated to 5v as per requirement but when i start drawing current 500mA it gets heated badly... the circuit is uploaded whats the prob with the design
