#46260 - RE: 7815
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Seema,

The rated maximum for the 7815 is approx. 28 V. The regulator can act strangely if the max. voltage is exceeded. It's protection scheme when it overheats is to cycle itself on and off. You will probably have to add a 5 Watt resistor of approximately 27 ohms to lower the 29 V to a reasonable voltage so that the 15 V regualtor can regulate normally without overheating.

Regards,

Jacob Boyce
