In this article I have explained how to design and build a solid state contactor circuit using triacs, with ON OFF push electronic switches, for operating heavy duty loads like submersible borewell pump motors with high reliability, and without any concerns about wear and tear issue or long term degradation issues of the contactor unit. […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
PIR Solar Home Lighting Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple circuit using Passive Infrared or PIR for making an automatic solar LED lamp which can be used for illuminating your home automatically at sunset, and only in the presence of a human member in the premise. By SS Kopparthy Introduction Here, in this article, I will discuss a […]
Using Microwave Oven Parts to build a Soldering Iron Heat Controller
In this post I have explained how to scavenge discarded microwave oven parts for making a useful soldering iron heat controller circuit which can then be used for maintaining controlled heat over a connected soldering iron tip ensuring safe soldering operations, that may be quite crucial and handy if you are working with SMD parts. […]
Simple Transformer Winding Tester Circuit
This test set is primarily designed to test step-down, step-up transformers, for open and shorted winding. It can determine if the device under test has a low resistance to ac current. It can also measure the dc current resistancein ohms. By Henry Bowman Introduction The test set uses a 16 VAC, 60hz signal to determine […]
Simple MOSFET Tester and Sorter Circuit
This simple MOSFET tester does a quick job of testing both enhanced mode type N and P-channel mosfets. It checks for shorts between gate, drain and source. Designed By: Henry Bowman It also distinguishes between N and P-channel mosfets. Once the connections are correctly made to the mosfet, all testing is done without reversing connections. […]
Cell Phone Ring to Flashing Lamp Indicator for People with Hearing Loss
In this post I have explained a simple sound to flashing lamp circuit which can be used for facilitating people with hearing loss, so that they are able to visualize a distant cell phone rings through flashing of a lamp, and immediately understand regarding an incoming call in their cell phone. The following explanation and […]
