Rebuilt ATX switching power supply
Reconstruction is ATX PC power supply are turned into the regulated power supply 0..15V with the current limit 0..10A. The additional board makes possible that computer ATX power supply serves as the regulable stabilized power supply for different purposes. On the scheme has been presented the principal connection for the regulation 0..15V / 0..10A. Little the different connecting can gain 0..6V / 0..15A. The additional board with two trimers has been built in in same ATX housing. Complex with the smaller modification was able will use for the filling 12V lead acid batteries. Complex was able rebild so that the output voltage switches on across the optocoupler or that the output switches on in time defined impulses. Possibly is more power supplies, set on the same voltage, connect parallelly and with that get ad lib the necessary amount maximal the output current (e.g. 30A with 3 power supplies).
Characteristics:
 metal box: 150 * 145 * the 85 mm
 voltage power supplies: 220 or 110 VAC
 regulable exit voltage: 0..15V / 0-6V
 exit resistance: 0,02 Ohm
 indication of exit voltage: LED
 regulable exit current: 0..10A / 0-15A
 complex can works in the permanent current limit.
 short-circuiting of output: permanently maintains without consequences
 indication of the maximal current: LED
 indication of the minimal exit current 1..5A: LED
 exit terminals: 4mm2
 mass: 0,88kg
Price of the complete manufactured complex in ATX to the housing (without the output terminals) is 300 HRK (40 euro).In the price has been included and power cable with the jack.
In order to show that the complex really can works in the permanent short-circuiting outbound, have fhoto of the complex with the included ammeter outbound.
Three LEDS diodes show the exit voltage (yellow), limiting the maximal current (reds) also the achieved minimal exit current (green) what is regulable from e.g. 1..5A. Green LED of diodes have svhu at fillings of accumulators, and her extinguishing that the accumulator has achieved the set voltage and stop will fill up (the current is smaller from 10 % maximal current fillings)
The possible usage:
 filling of different accumulators of nominal voltage 1.2..12V
 electrolyses
 warm-up of stamp from the steel wire (for the rude drilling hole in plastics)
 power supply of relay complexes and electromagnets
 power unit 12V DC of motor
etc.
Application for the charging of accumulator
This power supply is ideally for the filling of accumulators of different kinds. In respect to low cost the adapter which can find in shops has next advantages:
 twice as less dimensions and mass
 the low internal resistance (0,02R) also keeps the maximal current fillings to the maximal set voltage
 the regulable maximal voltage and current fillings
 clean direct-current fillings without current spades (100Hz at standard adapters)
 not destroy when briefly join exit terminals
Quoted advantages are enough important, if e.g. have junk which has the gel accumulator. Essentially you are that is the adapter what smaller, what lighter, that what faster the full accumulator and that the voltage on the accumulator reaches the strict maximum rate. For the protection from the wrong polarity was able use the relay complex (the accumulator joins on terminals +ULAZ and -ULAZ). From experience you can say that this power supply surely will fill the accumulator. Low cost adapters of accumulator often has characteristics dependent about the voltage of city net, and and exit resistance they are too big and causes the slowdown of fillings of accumulators also in the theoretical necessary time accumulator filled only 50 %.
How also will know that your adapter does have the large internal resistance? Simple. If before the end fillings (last 10 from 16 hours) the voltage on your accumulator have not reached the maximum, and current fillings start fall this means that fills will drag on the considerable long than would last with the quality adapter. Our power supply can give the maximal current fillings to last 0,2V maximal set voltages of fillings. Guarantee.
