How to make 0 to 12v Variable High Current Transformerless Electronic Power Supply or LED Driver or Electronic Dimmer which is Surge Free.

How to make a 0 to 12v Variable Transformerless Electronic Power Supply or LED Driver or Electronic Dimmer at home.


In this post i am going to explain how to make a Electronic Dimmer or Transformerless Electronic Power supply or LED driver which can vary it output from o to 12v or even higher. This circuit can be a useful gadget for electronic hobbyist to test various appliances having different voltage rating for them. This circuit have a protection against Surge current while switched ON by Crowbar Network attached to its output. This design ensures that high current value is availabe at all voltage levels . So without wasting time lets get started....

I have previously explained various power supply on my blog but today we are going to learn a little bit about how to protect surge current from the circuit. 

Previously i had explained about how to make a variable high current, high voltage from 0v to 300v using a Mosfet and transistor.

Today we will see how to use Thyrister or SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) for making a variable voltage high current surge free transformerless electronic power supply or Led driver or Electronic Dimmer by using a Crowbar Network.

Now lets start making this circuit.

Components Required:

Resistance: 1 Mega ohm, 22 ohm, 5k preset or potentiometer.
Diodes: four IN4007 diodes, 24v/400mW zener.

How to make a 0-300V Variable Voltage, Current Transformerless Electronic Power Supply or Driver Circuit.

How to make a 0~300v Variable Voltage & Current Transformerless Electronic Power Supply or LED Driver or Electronic Dimmer.

In this post i am going to show how to make a variable transformerless electronic Power supply or Electronic Dimmer means this power supply can vary  both voltage as well as current. This circuit can be of great importance like checking different appliances (samll as well as big appliances) without worrying about buying their power supply which is diffrent for different appliances. It can be used on any device....

One day when i was testing a led strip on  Electrical Dimmer or Auto-transformer ( which actually is a bulky circuit), due to its bulkiness i start thinking why not develop a Transformerless Electronic dimmer for ease of use. So i come up with this circuit.

I made this circuit, short circuit proof. so enjoy making this marvel piece of Gadget.
