Description.

This is the circuit diagram of of a 40V    power supply able to deliver 2A current.This circuit is suitable for power amplifiers .Transistor TIP 42 A is used as a pass transistor to increase the current capabilities.Voltage regulator LM 317 is the heart of this circuit .Here the out put voltage is set to 40 V by R5 & R8.If you want any other out put voltage use a 10 K pot instead of R5 and adjust it.
