    I see they left out the parts for the crowbar overvoltage protection circuit.

        So dose that mean that I need to add a 5 volt Zener diode in the power cable to what ever unit I going to use this power supply on

        What parts would I need for the crowbar overvoltage protection circuit to work right [ if this can be done ]

            SCR1, ZD3, and R16 appear to be the missing components for the crowbar circuit.

                I know that for ZD3 is going to be a 5.5 or a 6 volt
                And for R16---->500 to 1000 ohms

                Could I use this for ZD3
