I am trying to build a variable powersupply using LM 317 IC. The input DC voltage (after rectification) is about 26 volts. However, at the output I am getting voltage from 1.2 V to 6.2 V only. What could be the reason?
Thanks Crust. You are right, the current ratio is (R2)1000 Ohms : (R1)220 Ohms. As suggested by another friend, I will change the POT value to 5000 Ohms. This should solve the problem.
