In this article I have explained how to build a simple AC ammeter circuit which can be used for checking the current consumption of household 220 V or 120 V appliances. The main reason for high monthly utility bills is the use of large electrical equipment like refrigerators, washers and dryers, dishwashers, etc. These appliances […]

Simple Home Automation Circuits
In this article I have explained a few useful yet easy to build home automation circuits which will help the user to create automatic electronic systems at home. What is Home Automation Home automation basically means converting many of the manually operated home electrical devices into automatically operated devices, through electronics. Today’s real home automation […]
Home Electromagnetic Radiation Detector Circuit
The assembly proposed in these lines is an electromagnetic radiation detector (power and others) that allows the user to organize their living space with full knowledge. Circuit Description The sensor used for this design is a simple wire coil (L1) associated with the MOSFET transistor (T1) biased at the beginning of its conduction zone by […]
AC 220V Over Current Monitor and Cut OFF Circuit
The proposed AC mains 220 V load over current cut off circuit continuously monitors the current flowing through a connected load. If this current increases beyond a certain preset level, the circuit trips the relay and disconnects the load from the AC. Basic Working This 220 V over current cut off circuit is indeed subject […]
Simple Ceiling Fan Regulator Circuit
A simple electronic ceiling fan regulator circuit using a triac and a diac is a common type of circuit which is used to control the speed of a ceiling fan. This circuit basically works using phase control principle, in which the voltage supplied to the fan motor is varied by controlling the firing angle of […]
Ding Dong Bell Circuit that Saves Electricity
This circuit goes beyond being a simple two-tone doorbell. Instead, it utilizes envelope modulation to produce an authentic ‘ding-dong’ chime sound. Additionally, it incorporates a power-saving feature, consuming zero power in standby mode. Circuit Diagram How the Circuit Works When SW1 is pressed, it triggers Q1 to power the remaining circuitry. IC1a serves as a […]
