Designing Simple Power Supply Circuits
In this post I have explained how to design and build a simple power supply circuit right from the basic design to the reasonably sophisticated power supply having extended features. Power Supply is Indispensable Whether it’s an electronic noob or an expert engineer, all require this indispensable piece of equipment called the power supply unit. This is because no electronics […]
How to Make a 25 Amp, 1500 watts Heater Controller Circuit
In this article I will try to explain the making of a 1500 watt simple heater controller circuit at 25 amp current rate using an ordinary triac based dimmer switch circuit Using Advanced Snubber less Triacs Controlling heaters rated as high as 1500 watt requires stringent specifications with the controlling unit for safe and effective […]
How to Make an Incubator Timer Optimizer Circuit
A timer circuit design which could be used for turning the position of the eggs in an incubator between predetermined intervals of time was requested to me by one of the keen readers of this blog, Mr. Eugene. The requested circuit has been exclusively designed by me and published here, Circuit Specifications Let’s hear the […]
Using Triacs for Controlling Inductive Loads
Here I have tried to investigate a few enhanced triac based phase controller circuits which can be recommended for controlling or operating inductive loads like transformers and AC motors much safely than earlier traditional triac based circuit dimmer circuits. Using Triacs for Controlling AC Loads A Triac is a semiconductor device used for switching AC […]
3 Useful Electronic Mosquito Repellent Circuits Explored
In this post I have explained the construction of 3 simple electronic high frequency mosquito repellent circuits, which are specially designed to drive away mosquitoes through their tuned high frequency pulses. Design#1: Using a Single CMOS IC Mosquitoes are definitely a nuisance for your summer nights, especially when humidity prevails. Electronic mosquito repellent techniques can […]
