DEVELOPMENT OF WORKBENCH POWER SUPPLY WITH CURRENT LIMITING FOR LEARNING TOOLS

Abstract

Learning is a process of enhancing new knowledge and skills that can be applied in daily routine as human learning starts. The learning process for the technical students starts in involving the interfacing with machines and equipment. The most common equipment for technical courses involved the usage of power supply. There are some procedures in operating the device. One should be equipped with a broad knowledge in handling the power supply. Thus, the project is focusing in developing a workbench power supply, which is aimed to contributes as a teaching tools to the technical students and program. In developing the workbench power supply, the common component used are rectifier, capacitor filter, regulator, and buck converter. It is also including the simulation design the power supply circuit using Proteus and Fritzing. The objective of the project is aimed to introduce a basic electronic equipment bench power supply is a standard piece of test and measurement equipment on every electrical engineer and circuit designer’s bench. They provide DC (direct current) voltage to a device under test such as a circuit board or other product being validated. The equipment is typically set up on the engineer’s work area or bench. A variety of types are available all with different features and functions to suit design and debug applications.
