If anyone can help me to put together a voltage regulator circuit using the following two components I would be very grateful indeed. If you know of suitable alternatives if these are not appropriate, then I would also be grateful. I am attaching the Data Sheets for the two components I already have, and a simple circuit diagram that I am hoping to follow. Although I need some help with the other component values.
The purpose of the circuit is to control the initial voltage when an inverter is automaticaly connected to a 36v battery that has been on charge. Usualy the battery is at around 44v float level when connected to the charger. Unfortunately it is not possible to place any kind of time delay in situ because the inverter is operating as a UPS and may need to switch over to battery within a few milisecconds. However the inverter cannot handle voltages above 41vdc and will shut itself down. As soon as the inverter is conected and drawing current, within 10 secconds the voltage will have dropped back down to a typical 37-38v for a fully charged battery.
So far I have:
100A NPN Power Transistor
1N3327B Zener Diode
If anyone can help with the small circuit diagram attached, and values for the other components that would be great. Or if you have any other suggestions which are not too difficult to build with basic electronics equipment, that would also be great !.
