I am trying to control voltage range from 1.5 to 34 V using LM338 voltage regulator with 1000u capacitor at the input 430u capacitor ; at the output with potentiometer
I have 37v and around 5 Amps current at the Vout but when i try to reduce the voltage using potentiometer,resistor 120 ohms burns out. Please suggest me how to control and get constant Voltage & Current.
It's a bit pointless speculating until you post an image of the schematic of the circuit you are using. . Look at other threads - people post the schematic they are referring to.
