Calculating Filter Capacitor for Smoothing Ripple
In the previous article I explained about ripple factor in power supply circuits, here we continue and evaluate the formula for calculating ripple current, and consequently the filter capacitor value for eliminating the ripple content in the DC output. The previous post explained how a DC content after rectification may carry the maximum possible amount […]

In this article I have explained a simple digital power meter circuit which can be installed in homes for getting an instant reading of the wattage being consumed by the attached appliances or the loads. The idea was requested by Mr. Nitin. Technical Specifications I m going through a problem. I want to know a […]
How to Make an ATX UPS Circuit with Charger
In this post I have explained a simple ATX UPS circuit with an automatic charger for enabling an automatic changeover from mains to battery power during mains failures and for ensuring an uninterruptible operation of the ATX load. Technical Specifications I´m interested in your site and there are a lot good ideas. But for my […]
Automatic Evaporative Air Cooler Circuit
In this post we study a simple moisture sensor circuit which enables an evaporative air cooler to automatically restore the wetness level of its evaporative pad by detecting its moisture level and by activating the water pump accordingly. The idea was requested by Mr. Ankur shrivastava Technical Specifications sir could you please help me to […]
LED Timer Indicator Circuit for Board Games
In this article I have explained a simple LED indicator timer circuit which can be used with board games for indicating the elapsed time or the time consumed by the player to complete his or her turn. The idea was requested by Mr. Shane Robins. Technical Specifications Hope all is well with you. I am relatively new […]
