Hello,

I've been looking for 36V DC 10A power supplies over the internet and all seem quite costly, so I thought, why not spend some of my free time making one. Would anyone know of places where I could find the schematics for such a power supply? Knowing that the input would be European main line (220V AC, 50 Hz)?

Thanks!

Variable or fixed, tightly regulated or unregulated, current limited?

Do you know how to redesign a circuit diagram for higher voltages/ currents? Also consider switchmode instead of linear, which might save you an expensive heatsink.
Anyway, here's a thread discussing a PSU close to what you're looking for. And here's an ultra-simple circuit (will not be 100% temperature and load stable w/o mod.).
Btw., they're the top two hits when Googling with the keywords 36V 10A power supply diagram.
