How to make 18V, 12 amp power supply with short circuit protection using BD712 transistor |LM7818

High output current with a short circuit protection 18V regulator.

It is a high output current with a short circuit protection 18V Voltage Regulator power supply. This is the circuit diagram. In this circuit, an input positive voltage of 24V is used with an output positive voltage of 18V. This power supply can drive positive 18v, 12amp(max), and 75-watt(max) devices. It can be used as a 75-watt (max) device. This power supply uses a voltage regulator LM7818 and BD712 PNP Transistor. DC to DC voltage can be converted through this circuit. This is called a stop-down positive power supply.
