Dear jonnybgood
Again Hi
As i told you , we have many many different way for current controlling . but this way is usual and very good , and when the out put voltage is short circuit , the voltage can not increase ( remember that this circuit called hiccup current limiter , and at one time the current limiter , do it's duty , and at the other time , the voltage feed back will do it's duty .
BTW : i built 25A power supply with this way about 2 years ago.

In fact I figured out that I was putting the current sense resistor to the emitter not to ground.... I will try with it connected to ground today
thanks for now.

With current limit resistor, the voltage at the output terminals fall below 9V (0.1 Ohms * 2.7Amps = 0.27V drop). I know that the op amp is trying to keep a 9V across the load and current sense resistor in series not the load only. Since the feedback is from a voltage divider from emmitter to ground. Can I take feedback only from the output with respect to current sensing resistor instead of directly to ground?
