Hi Guys here is the new project How to make selectable voltage power supply from computer CPU power supply DIY bench power supply from "Electrical and electronics projects" "E&EP" Channel it's very easy and at low investment now you can easily make your own just moving selecter to desire voltage here you have 3 in 1 Power Supply.
Take 6 Yellow wires,6 Black(GND) wires,4 Orange wires,4 Red wires and take Green one to power the supply.
Yellow wire gives 12V DC
Orange wire gives 3.3V DC
Red wire gives 5V DC
Green wire is for on/off by connecting to black one.
Black wires are Ground Negative wires.
NOTE : Discharge capacitors before attempting this and be very careful while making this unplug all power sources from AC socket and then make it thank you.The auther shall not be liable for any loss of property,loss of life if it comes to that.

Good choice of colour, looks great! I like the video, but I find that the idea of using a selector to choose a voltage is limiting what can be done with such a powerful unit. The way this is built, you can only use one voltage at a time. If you do away with the selector(the most expensive part) and use more binding posts, you could bring out all the voltages. Not only can you choose which posts to use for a standard voltage requirement, you can also combine positive and/or negative voltage rails to get a multitude of other voltages. You can tap into more than one output to power multiple devices, lights, experiments, all simultaneously! ...And for less money. Anyway, that's the way I made mine. But, I must admit that I will probably use that colour on something soon. Cheers! ;-)

@ElectricalElectronicsProjects 7 лет назад

Yes you are right i really apreciate it, but i already had build that one so now i tried this one and share it with you guys. Thank You for giving me idea for further improvement :) Here is the link for Power Supply that i used in video :ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vLcgOW7mujM.html

@robertcartier5088 7 лет назад

Ah, yes. Very nice. After watching this video again, I realized that in the demo you used only fans. And I can see now that using a rotary selector is more convenient for that purpose. ;-)

@VolthausLabElectronics 7 лет назад

I agree. I made mine with a post for each voltage. Many projects require 3.3VDC on one rail and 5VDC on the other.

@user-tm6ir8tu3g 7 лет назад

Nice video ;) Now i feel dump for not thinking of that before with stacks of psu i have... If i may ask can you use that as charger for 12v batteries? and what is the limit that it can endure? if so can that be done by any given psu? thanks in advance for any reply

@obdstudioscom 7 лет назад

This is just what I need. I work with kids doing arduino projects, LED, project etc. I don't want them to mess with the voltages besides those given because they can ruin the projects. I will make an adjustable one like on his new video for myself however. Thanks. Oh and this is one of the projects we are doing as well. Maker Space !

@mangedwink2428 7 лет назад

the title should be "selectable voltage power supply"...not "adjustable voltage power supply"

@karimismail3734 7 лет назад

Mang: are you teaching lang or appreciating this man's project and sharing it with us?. Grow up child.

@Kalvinjj 7 лет назад

Sorry but there is a HUGE difference. In fact I came here for a power supply that had variable voltage control, sadly that's not the case. Not going to dislike the video because of this, but it IS misleading in the electronics sense.

@kevinatspeed 7 лет назад

Noting the difference between "selectable" and "adjustable" does not make Mang a child. What makes you a child is the fact that you don't know that titling a video that wastes people's time is an issue. See you and I have goals that we would like to accomplish before we perish. Given that we don't know when that will be, that makes time the most expensive thing we have. So to waste someone's time means there may be a goal that they don't get to accomplish. Conclusion: language and use of words is highly important.

@ElectricalElectronicsProjects 7 лет назад

There you go, I have changed it.

@Ditchdoc220 7 лет назад

You are correct, now tell us how your Hindi is. Do you know if English is this man's first language? Perhaps some consideration is appropriate. Your response could be more concise for someone who is as concerned about wasted time as you are.

@ApostolicCherub 7 лет назад

Love the paint job idea! I have modded a total of 4 PSUs and I have always thought that the flat grey, similar to a fuse panel, just looked awful. Since the PSUs are no longer hidden inside a PC, their appearance needed a little something to make them unique. When I saw your video I knew instantly what I wanted to do with my PSUs. I gutted them so that they were just a bare metal box. I then took them to a local powder-coating business where the boxes were sandblasted, prepped, powder-coated and baked. I chose a high gloss black. I then had vinyl graphics made at a local vinyl sign shop. The end result was just amazing! I know some people might think that I should just go out and buy a power supply after putting that much time and energy into modding a PSU, which are limited in what they can do. Well, I know the guy that works at the powder-coating place and I also know the vinyl graphics people, so my costs was extremely cheap. Aside from that, I just love working on these sort of projects. They are in expensive and loads of fun! Of course, as always, this is only if you know what you are doing.

@kit-geoffbullough8788 7 лет назад

This could be very dangerous for people to try and copy. People need to know that, however unlikely it sounds, the energy stored in the capacitors is enough to kill you. That heatsink your putting a switch right next to that could be at a higher voltage that the mains input voltage - and dangerous even when its discontented from the mains. Generally people should not work inside a PC power supply -just run the low voltage wires to a new box with the switches in. I am just talking about safely so the simplified explanation is the PSU has inside it the rectified mains voltage - the 2 big capacitors are at the PEAK mains voltage - and the mains you get is not always what your supplier says it is - a " 120 " supply can charge the capacitors to up to 180 vdc. A " 220/230 " supply can charge the capacitors to up to a max of 350 vdc. The energy stored in the capacitors is enough to kill you. Although the danger is the same not all PC power supplies look the same inside and not much room for adding switches safely. 2 things SHOULD keep you alive. 1 the PSU SHOULD have bleeder resistors to bleed away the high voltage fairly quickly when it is unplugged but as the PSU works fine without them often resistors may not be on or functional. I have held a PSU when working for a manufacturer testing new ones and had several painful shocks. 2 the heatsink is normally isolated by a paper thin insulator -if that is not functional the PSU may still work OK but you don't want to risk your life on it ,especially if you just bent the shiny metal heatsink to get the switch in the box.

@ApostolicCherub 7 лет назад

Kit Bullough, true on both points, Safety and room. 1) If people don't know what they are doing, they should not attempt these projects. That is rule #1 above all. 2) There certainly is not much room inside a PSU box for modifications. I would think that some people might move the guts of their PSUs into a larger project box which would allow for modifications to be made. Again, point #2 should only be done if the person knows what they are doing. If you know what you are doing then the sky is the limit to the projects you can do.

@mangedwink2428 7 лет назад

mr.Kevin,the title is misleading especially for young kids starting on electronics,expecting an adjustable power supply of 1volt to 12volts for different school electronic projects..anyway,you win guys!..sorry for giving my opinion

@MCsCreations 7 лет назад

@fredflintstone8048 7 лет назад

Nice, but another way, perhaps a more preferable way to do this is to install lugs for each of the voltages, and perhaps even more than one ground lug. It's nice in some cases to have access to more than one of the voltages at a time.

@jimmyfavereau 7 лет назад

@aserta 7 лет назад

Put some solder on the tip, helps a lot when soldering.

@pieceofpotato7883 7 лет назад

that soldering iron tho, here's a way that I really like, scratch the tip with the back of a knife until u just see a copper like color on the tip, dip it in some flux, then wrap some solder around the tip, then turn it on. ur soldering will work like a charm

@aserta 7 лет назад

The solder i keep for quick dirty stuff, i just remove the tip and put it on the grinder wheel to get a perfect new tip, then, cup it slightly on one side. Also, you can get around just with dipping it in solder if you get the lead solder type. If you dab it in flux first, it's going to corrode a lot faster.

@lezbriddon 7 лет назад

omfg, never scratch off the silver coating, once you do you expose the copper and the oxygen in the air oxidises the copper and in a few weeks your tip is gone and your down to a stump!

@johnconrad5487 7 лет назад

The soldering iron tip is a copper tip coated with iron to protect the copper underneath. You never scrape the iron off and you never use the tip as a 'crowbar' because the iron will scrape off. Without the iron coating the copper dissolves into the solder and you have to reshape it by sanding or filing. With the coating you always have a good tip. The black coating is because he let it sit at a hot Temperature for a long time. When you finish soldering the iron should be turned off. That’s good maintenance for the iron.

@ndbkjalvarez9619 7 лет назад

Hey man great idea and build I'm having a little trouble in seeing how this could be useful except for running fans like in the video could you please elaborate as to what type of applications this could be used for or maybe why you came up with this meaning what personal purposes you had for this build ? Also wouldn't you be limited to the PSU max power watt rating ? Great idea though just wondering how it could be used in my day to day life . :)

@grantklufetos2265 7 лет назад

@thethingsbypete7195 7 лет назад

I would connect the green LED to the Power Good wire with is usually the gray wire. It gives 5 volts tho so the resistor value for standard green LED should be more like 280 ohms. Also I would put a red LED next to the green one to be on when the power supply is connected to mains and the mains switch is on. That one should be connected to the purple wire witch is standby, it also gives 5 volts so standard red LED would need 330 ohm resistor. And of course both LED ground pins should be connected to the black / ground wire. Good video still!

@ItsMedicationTime 7 лет назад

Like a boss!! Great project!! How much of a mod would it take to make it a variable voltage output?

@mikeparker5008 7 лет назад

You could use an LM317 adjustable regulator and just the 12V line to make an adjustable supply. How to do this is in the 317 data sheet.

cody perret he cant even do a ln adjustable one to make a one with lcd just use a voltmeter or buy a cheap one and open it and hold its mobo to thr top WITH STANDSOFF SO IT DOSENT SHORT OUT and drill a space for he holes or u can use the advantage of the ventilation holes to ewsy drilling

@cody9089 7 лет назад

@hansdegroot8549 7 лет назад

@MiniluxPL 7 лет назад

Hey , In next video please build Bluetooth Portable Speaker? PLS PLS i like your vids :)

@RobertvandenBrink 7 лет назад

Probably will not work because most older PSUs need a minimal load (at least on the 12V rail) to output anything. A 5W car light bulb (put inside the case) will likely do. Other than that, good work. I used to build pirate FM radio transmitters using obsolete switching AT and ATX PSUs, LOL ;)

@zubairbabu2432 7 лет назад

fantastic mind

@paul7195 7 лет назад

Not really adjustable, but selectable voltage. I have used one of these pulled as an adapter for a monitor supply, as my wifes monitor kept shutting off. The power supply for it was just enough to power it and would overheat and die. Take a black and yellow connect the cord from the adapter problem solved... will melt the cord before failing this time. Then connect the start wire to ground then good to go. I should put up videos after watching this, as I can do much better. Also to me adjustable means variable with a pot, as in one voltage to another.

@juanabreu5127 7 лет назад

@davidhaney1394 7 лет назад

you should put the brown wire on the 3.3v line . its a voltage sense , you need it .

@tubeDude48 7 лет назад

With these Power Supplies, sometimes you have to put in a 5W , (sorry, don't recall the value) resistor, otherwise it might shut-off the power supple when it cant find a load. It connects between 5VDC and ground. Other RU-vids give the value needed. Guessing 100Ω

@terrencesauve 7 лет назад

2:20 Please, use heat shrink tubing and perhaps put the tabs of the selector switch to the bottom of the case. Dont want anybody to get zapped once those pieces of electrical tape dry out and fall off dont we?

@Jason-zf8bz 7 лет назад

Dude can u list down the components u used to modify the smps like the knob and so on..

@SuperFredAZ 7 лет назад

Viewers need to be really careful when drilling the hole for the banana sockets. It must be accurate and free of burs, otherwise the output can be shorted. Also this supply can put out lots of current, as much as 25 or more amps on the 5 V, and 20 amps on the 12 v. and there is no current limiting to this power supply, perhaps only for shorts. So it can do damage to things you hook to it. An inline fuse of perhaps 3 to 5 amps might be appropriate for small devices that don't need so much current

@johnconrad5487 7 лет назад

Very good observations. burrs, no current limiting etc. thanks

@skeetersaurus6249 7 лет назад

And, once again, fusing is not properly explained to the 'layperson'. People need to understand, I can charge a cell phone on a 5v 1000A souce, the device will only draw the current that it needs. You cannot 'over-provide', only 'over-demand'. If you could 'over-provide', then the whole electric grid would fail (at 8,000V at something like 200A). Thus, if your device is functioning (with its own fusing), there is no need to also fuse the power supply outs. If you are 'breadboarding', then fuse your design input at the board. Then again, we can all afford to break down and just buy a nice Fluke system for a grand, I guess. It is only play money, after all.

@mostbahgat 7 лет назад

Good job man, can we replace the 3 points switch with a potentiometer in order to get any voltage from 0 to 12 or it is not the case here ?

@MrMorphix13 7 лет назад

A potentiometer would not work the way he put this one together, since he is switching between the three power rails of the supply. If you want a fully adjustable voltage, you may be able to add a potentiometer to the 12V rail and adjust voltage that way. If I were to do that, I would also add extra terminals for a fixed 5V, or maybe a switch for fixed 3.3V-5V.
