Ok so here we have one simple calculator which can help us to calculate the shunt resistor value that we need to connect across a normal ammeter when we want to use that ammeter to measure high current, more than its actual range. So normally, ammeter can measure only small current, like 1 amp or […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
LED Oscilloscope Circuit
The simple LED oscilloscope circuit I have explained in this article can be used for analyzing low frequency waveform through a 10 x 10 LED matrix display. Due to the involvement of only 100 LEDs in the display board, the resolution is low, and the waveform display clarity is not so impressive. Yet, this LED […]
Light Meter Circuit with LED Bar Graph
In this article I have explained 3 different light meter circuits for measuring power of light. In the first method we will use only a solar cell and a multimeter, in the second method we will use an op amp and a moving coil meter, and in the third method we will see how a […]
Simple IC Tester Circuit [Test Digital and Analogue ICs]
The IC Tester is simple to use. You don’t have any switches to configure or lengthy test processes to complete. The universal IC Tester is a static tester, which means this does not dynamically test the IC’s operation. All ICs with up to 20 pins can be tested by this unit. ICs with more than […]
AC Ammeter Circuit for Measuring Current across 220 V Appliances
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 […]
Microamp Meter Circuit
A microamp meter or microammeter is a device that allows the user to measure extremely small current levels, in microamps, which is normally not possible to measure using conventional multimeters. A conventional panel meter or multimeter will not be able to properly measure currents of a few microamps or less. It is required to utilize […]
