MPPT stands for maximum power point tracker, which is an electronic system designed for optimizing the varying power output from a solar panel module such that the connected battery exploits the maximum available power from the solar panel. Introduction NOTE: The discussed MPPT circuits in this post do not employ the conventional control methods like “Perturb and […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
3-Step Automatic Fast Battery Charger/Controller Circuit
Generally it is noticed that while charging batteries people hardly pay any special attention toward the procedures. For them charging a battery is simply connecting any DC supply with matching voltage with the battery terminals. A fast battery charger circuit charges a battery with enhanced speed so that it is charged in less time than the specified period. […]
High Voltage, High Current DC Regulator Circuit
We all are pretty familiar with the 78XX voltage regulator ICs or the adjustable types such as LM317, LM338 etc. Though these regulators are outstanding with their specified functioning and reliability, these regulators have one big disadvantage…. they won’t control anything above 35V. Circuit Operation The circuit presented in the following article introduces a DC […]
Surge Protected Cheap Transformerless Hi-Watt LED Driver Circuit
The increased number of complaints from the readers regarding burning LEDs associated with my earlier posted transformerless 1 watt LED driver circuit, compelled me to solve the issue once for all. The power supply section of the circuit discussed here remains exactly identical to the previous configuration, except the inclusion of the “switch ON delay […]
Remote Controlled Toy Car using 433 MHz Remote Modules
This circuit will enable reverse-forward, left-right control of a toy car through 433 MHz RF remote control modules or any similar RF remote modules. The market may be full of these hi-end remote controlled toy cars, but for a hobbyists making one at home can be entirely a different experience. The article below explains how to configure […]
Adding a Soft Start to Water Pump Motors – Reducing Relay Burning Problems
In this post I have explained a few innovating and simple soft start circuit examples which may be implemented with heavy duty motors so that they are able to initiate with a soft start or a slow sluggish start instead of a sudden, bumpy start Why Soft Start is Crucial for Heavy Motors When heavy […]
