Three terminal voltage regulators are limited to fairly low current applications. Many are not listed to handle much more than 1.5 Amperes. Therefore to extent the current range a power transistor is employed. As soon as the current demand exceeds the rating of the regulator the transistor will be turned on to carry any additional current.
