How do i get 30v from a dc regulated power supply?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to achieve a 30V output from a DC regulated power supply that is limited to a maximum of 15V. Participants explore potential solutions and methods for increasing the voltage output.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests simply adjusting the power supply's dial to reach 30V, assuming it is capable of doing so.
  • Another participant points out that the power supply only reaches a maximum of 15V.
  • A subsequent reply proposes using a boost converter to increase the voltage from 15V to 30V, referencing a Wikipedia article for further information.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on how to achieve 30V, with differing views on the capabilities of the power supply and the proposed use of a boost converter.

Turn it on. Turn the little dial until the digital display shows "30". Be happy.
