Feb 7, 2023 at 9:41 comment added bobflux If the resistor is on the input, the 7815 output will be shorted to ground when the transistor turns on. Resistor limits the current so nothing will be damaged, but it will add a delay when it starts up again when the transistor turns off.

Feb 7, 2023 at 1:03 comment added eemoob @bobflux It's on that side of the 7815 in my breadboard circuit. Is there some reason it shouldn't be in that position? I figured limiting the current one way or the other would be fine... but now I realize I must be dropping some voltage before the regulator. It must be enough to trigger the MOSFET gate anyway. Is that right?

Feb 6, 2023 at 23:52 comment added eemoob Oh I'm sorry! It's a 15V regulator. I'll upload a corrected schematic momentarily. I couldn't find this item in LTspice and tried to draw it in.
