Types of Thermistors, Characteristic Details and Working Principle
The thermistor name has been devised as a short form for the “thermally sensitive resistor”. The full form of the thermistor provides the general and the detailed idea of the […]
Using an NTC Thermistor as a Surge Suppressor
A Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is a device which is able to suppress switch ON current surge due to its initial higher resistance at room temperature. However, as the […]
3 Useful Temperature Alarm Circuits Explained
In this post we discuss the working of 3 interesting and useful temperature alarm circuits through detailed circuit diagrams. A temperature alarm circuit is basically a device which is designed […]
Temperature Controlled Relay Switch Circuit
In this article we discuss a simple temperature controlled relay circuit which can be switched ON/OFF depending on the temperature on its temperature sensor. Meaning, when the temperature on its […]
Simple Triac Triggering Circuits Explained
In this post we learn the fundamental methods of triggering a triac, and also discuss the right way to connect the terminals of a triac. Triacs are solid-state bidirectional thyristors […]
