A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) or a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), is a form of circuit breaker which will shut down mains AC power as soon as it detects an discrepancy between the incoming current and the outgoing current, through it. The primary objective of an RCCB device is to cut-off main AC […]

Using an NTC Thermistor as a Surge Suppressor
A Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is a device which is able to suppress switch ON current surge due to its initial higher resistance at room temperature. However, as the NTC suppresses the initial surge current, it warms up causing its resistance to drop to nominal levels and this in turns allows the current to […]
Thermostat Delay Relay Timer Circuit
The circuit given below describes a time delay relay system which is used for keeping a hot air blower working under a specifically programmed timing sequence. The idea was requested by Mr. Doug Shadix, I have explained more: Technical Specifications Hi Swagatam,Looks like you know your stuff when it comes to these timer circuits, this one […]
Solar Insect Repellent Circuit for Protecting Crops in fields
In this post I have explained a simple to build ultrasonic insect repellent circuit which can be installed in farms and used by the farmers for driving away all sorts of insects, bugs, grasshoppers etc in order to protect the crops from these potentially harmful pests. The idea was requested by Mr. Cia Brisat. Technical […]
Solar Insect Killer Circuit for Protecting Crops in Farms
The insect killer circuit presented here is designed to attract insects during night, and electrocute them through a high voltage mesh trap. The unit can be installed in farms for protecting crops from potentially harmful insects. The unit being solar powered does not depend on human intervention and works independently. In one of our previous […]
Natural Mosquito Repellent Using High Watt Resistor
As the name suggests, to build this simple natural mosquito repellent circuit you will just require a high watt resistor, a few drops of lemon eucalyptus oil and mains supply input. Chemical Based Mosquito Repellent are Harmful for Health You might be already familiar with these popular ready made mosquito repellent units which come in […]
