In this article I have explained how to calculate and the find the value of the zener diode resistor using simple formulas. What is a Zener Diode Zener diodes are semiconductor devices which are used for regulating an input DC voltage to any desired output voltage. The regulated output voltage value directly depends on the […]

How to Modify a Transformer
Commonly, the perfect transformer might not be readily accessible for purchase, or if it is available, it can be costly. Nonetheless, there is a possibility of modifying the transformer’s secondary winding, especially when producing small voltage and current outputs. This approach can provide a highly cost-effective solution for creating a customized power supply. Transformer Power […]
Insect Light Trap Circuit for Protecting Crops
This solar LED light trap circuit for insects can be used to attract insects at night and keep them engaged with the light source. This distraction created by the LED light will keep the insects from flying towards the crops and save the crops from these harmful pests. The circuit design was requested by Mr. […]
How to Connect and Use RCWL-0516 Microwave Motion Sensor
In this article I will comprehensively explain about the RCWL-0516 a microwave proximity motion sensor which uses Doppler radar. Here, I will elucidate the following points: What is RCWL-0516 It is yet another type of proximity motion sensor which can detect if someone has entered into an area, and raise an alarm or take an […]
3 Tested 220V High and Low Voltage Cut OFF Circuits Using IC LM324 and Transistors
An AC mains high/low cut-off device will cut off or disconnect the mains supply from home electrical whenever a high voltage or low voltage situation is detected. In this way it ensures total safety to the home wiring and appliances from fire hazards, due to abnormal over voltages, brown outs or low voltages. In this […]
AC Light Dimmer Circuit
In this post I have explained through two examples how to build a simple110 V or 220 V AC light dimmer circuit for controlling light intensity with pot, using the principle of triac phase chopping. A 220V dimmer switch circuit is basically a triac/diac based AC mains voltage regulator circuit which can be used for […]
