T1, if the current consumption crosses the 1.5 amp mark, T1 conducts
and assists the IC by sharing the excess current through it.
P1 is set for achieving around 13 volts across C3.
R5 monitors over load conditions and short circuits, if the current
crosses beyond 12 amps, sufficient current develops across R5 to
trigger T2, which instantly switches OFF the IC so that the output
voltage drops and restricts the current below 12 amps.
Ideal Specifications:
Constant voltage = 13 volts
Current Limit = 12 Amp
Overload protection = above 12 amp cut OFF
Thermal protection (if the transistor and IC are mounted on the same
heatsink with mica isolation)
Short circuit protection (fire hazard protection)
