Notes
The input transformer T1 has a primary rating of 240V for the Uk domestic supply. For North America the primary needs to be rated at 120V. The secondary must be cable of supplying 20V AC RMS at 25 Amp. F1 is the input fuse and must be a slow blow type rated at 4 amp. The supply is rectified by BR1, a 35 Amp bridge rectifier type MB356. C1 and C2 are the smoothing capacitors and the unregulated DC voltage will now be about 26V with no load.1
The bulk of the work is performed by an LM723 regulator. The preset RV1 sets the output voltage, R1 and R3 setting upper and lower voltage limits. The error signal at pin 10 feeds a darlington combination made with Q1 to Q5. The BD131 boosts current from the regulator at pin 10 and sources base current to the parallel connected 2N3055 power transistors, Q2 to Q5. Each transistor supplies up to 5 Amps of current into the load. As device parameters vary, in particular, forward current gain hFE of a power transistor, R3 to R6 aid current sharing.
With RV1 at about 10% output voltage is about 12.3 Volts. The regulation is excellent, the graph below simulates a varying load resistance of 0.5Ω to 1Ω measured across the output (Vs) in the circuit diagram. The output voltage is solid at 12.3 Volt, even at 20 Amp. Only when the load increases to 21 Amp does the output start to drop by 50mV.
