In this post I have explained an upgraded version of my previous mains 220V/120V high-low voltage cut off protection circuit which now includes a delayed restoration of power for the load with 3 LED power status indicators. The idea was requested by one of the dedicated members of this website. Circuit Objectives and Requirements Main […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Simple LDR Motion Detector Alarm Circuit
Here I have explained how to build a simple LDR based motion detector sensor circuit using ordinary parts such as LDRs and opamps, reasonably accurately. What are Motion Detectors Motion detector or sensor alarm is a device which detects the presence of a motion or movement within a certain fixed range and raises an alarm […]
Induction Heater Circuit Using IGBT (Tested)
In this post I will comprehensively discuss how to build a high power 1000 watt induction heater circuit using IGBTs which are considered to be the most versatile and powerful switching devices, even superior to mosfets. Induction Heater Working Principle The principle on which induction heating works is very simple to understand. A magnetic field […]
How to Use Transistors
If you have understood correctly, how to use transistors in circuits, you might have already conquered half of electronics and its principles. In this post we make an effort in this direction. Introduction Transistors are 3 terminal semiconductor devices which is able to conduct relatively high power across their two terminals, in response to a […]
How to Switch Two Batteries Manually using Opto Coupler
The following article explaining a dual battery changeover relay circuit was requested by Mr.Raja so that it could become possible to switch between his old and new inverter batteries automatically, eliminating manual interventions. Let’s read it in details. Technical Specifications “I bought a new 12v 110 Ah lead acid battery for the dc home lighting system. I had another 12v […]
How to Compare IGBTs with MOSFETs
In this post I have explained the main differences between an IGBT and a MOSFeT device. I have explained more about the facts from the following article. Comparing IGTB with power MOSFETs The insulated-gate bipolar transistor features a voltage drop which is significantly low when compared to a conventional MOSFET in the devices which have […]
