Topic summary

A power supply design created using KICAD EDA aims to provide 24 VDC, 12 VDC, and 0 VDC outputs. After prototyping, the circuit exhibits overheating issues, with uncertainty about which components—transistors or the transformer—are the primary heat sources. The designer seeks expert advice before implementing corrective measures. Respondents request the schematic and additional details such as current demands and power dissipation calculations for critical components. Clarification is also sought regarding whether overheating affects specific components or the entire enclosure. The schematic was mentioned as attached but not successfully shared in the discussion.
