Am building a normal variable voltage power supply for breadboarding using LM317 
and would like to implement an electonic fuse and or short circuit protection.

Not sure if s/c protection is built in to the LM317.

The idea is to be able to vary the overload current trip say up to 1Amp.

Anyone know of a web address or simple circuit to achieve the above.
