High current draw causes 7808CT Regulator to shutdown?

Isaac96:
Try parallel voltage regulators.

If two identical voltage regulators were to be paralled, the regulated voltage will still differ slightly and it will cause one regulator to withstand all the load and it would shutdown followed by the other. It doesnt seem like a solution for this :frowning: Will update here later if it works by including a power transistor to take off some load off the 7808reg.
