I am trying to make an AC to DC supply to run my motors,
motors needs 12 to 24 volt and 1.6 amp current.
So i used a transformer(output 12 volt, current 1.5-1.8 amp) ,then a full wave bridge rectifier, then a capacitor(25v, 1000uF) and then this L7824 .But is not working and the ic L7824 gets very hot.
So what i do now..?
