This is my first real power supply, so now I can finally start doing some serious projects. I built it to be indestructible, and so far not even a direct short can wreck it. Currently the max power it can supply is around 480W, because of the wimpy 10A rectifier I had on hand. I was planning on a full kW, but maybe another time. Output voltages are regulated 5 and 12v at 2A and 50 volts at 9A. The regulated 5 and 12 volts are provided by 3 pin voltage regulators. The filter cap is a bit small on the 50 volt rail, but I doubt the ripple will be a problem. Short circuit protection is provided by a current sense resistor and flip flop, after tripping it can be reset by a switch or turning off the power.

There might be a problem if you short the 50V to 12V or 5V so it is not completely indestructible.

Crap, I never thought of that... I'll just have to make sure it never happens then.

Simply place a strand of fuses
3A on the 5V and 12V and 15A on the 50V line

also place a 3A fuse on the mains (or 6A if you are a 110Vac-er)

This is a nice project,

It allows you to understand the MOT Sciece and Practice.
