Here we will study the design of a simple automatic mains AC voltage stabilizer which can be applied for safeguarding appliances like TV and refrigerators from fluctuating voltages. A voltage stabilizer is a device which is designed to sense inappropriate voltage fluctuations in AC mains supply inputs, and correct them to produce a stabilized voltage for the […]

How to Connect Two or More Transistors in Parallel
Connecting transistors in parallel is a process in which the identical pinouts of two or more transistors are connected together in a circuit in order to multiply the power handling capacity of the combined parallel transistor set. In this post I have explained how to safely connect multiple transistors in parallel, these can be BJTs […]
Non Contact AC Phase Detector Circuit [Tested]
The circuit discussed in this article is of a non-contact mains AC field detector which displays the presence of a mains AC field from a distance of more an 6 inches. Locating Fault in AC Lines without Physical Contact The circuit can be used for locating faults in house wiring without the need of making […]
