Overview
We have converted a Normal old computer power supply into a 3V, 5V, and 12V power supply which takes 220 volts as input and gives DC voltage according to our need, and displays the required voltage flowing through the banana switch which is attached to the display.
We can run all kinds of motors, bulbs, LEDs, DC Fans, too current Arduino, it can also give current to our drone by simply connecting the wire to drone motors. It is very easy to moveable take less cost than a normal computer supply which we purchase from the market. It is 20 times less than in price which is available in the market.
Power supply
Power Supply Circuit
The most common source of power supply these days is the AC mains, because it is more efficient and economical to generate and transmit AC power. However, DC voltage/current are required for the satisfactory operation of a wide variety of electronics equipment
Components we use in project:
Banana switch
Potential meter
12 V DC Digital LED Display
Resistance
Switching button
Working of components
Banana switch:
Banana Socket for Power Supply Round Female Socket Plug Connector Banana Socket for Power Supply, 2 pieces, Round Female Type Socket
Plug Connector
Potential meter
A potentiometer is a manually adjustable variable resistor with 3 terminals. Two of the terminals are connected to the opposite ends of a resistive element, and the third terminal connects to a sliding contact, called a wiper, moving over the resistive element.
12 V DC Digital LED Display
Our 12 volt monitors are energy efficient and can be connected directly to a 12V circuit. The monitors are suitable for continuous use and have various mounting options.
Resistance
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses
Switching button
A push switch (button) is a momentary or non-latching switch which causes a temporary change in the state of an electrical circuit only while the switch is physically actuated
Actual form of Power supply after completion
Project Summary
Converted an old ATX computer power supply unit into a multi-rail DC laboratory bench power supply.
Rewired internal ATX harnesses. Integrated dual digital LED voltmeters, potentiometer controls, safety load resistors, binding posts, and toggle switches inside a modified enclosure.
Assembled a working 3.3V, 5V, and 12V variable power unit capable of driving microcontrollers, sensors, and high-amp drone motors.
