Normally, for standard 220V AC household projects, a single 600V or 800V TRIAC is more than enough. But what if you are working with a very high voltage line, like 1000V AC? A single common TRIAC will immediately burn and short circuit because it cannot handle that much voltage stress. To solve this, we can […]

90V to 400V Low Voltage Cutoff Circuit for Solar Inverters
Today we are going to discuss a purely analog high voltage protection circuit which is specially designed for solar power systems working with PV voltages from around 90 volts up to 400 volts DC. The main purpose of this circuit is to disconnect the inverter whenever the solar panel voltage falls below a safe level, […]
How to Connect Triacs in Parallel for High Current Loads: Circuit Diagram
Sometimes we make electronic circuit designs, and then we see that one single TRIAC cannot take all the big current of a very heavy load. This heavy load can be a huge heater, a big motor, or too many lights. In this condition, we get a simple idea. We think that we can connect two […]
What is an Earth Torque Generator (ETG)? A New Concept for Unlimited Clean Energy
Contributor Credit: This conceptual proposal and the structural framework of the Earth Torque Generator (ETG) have been developed and contributed by Mr. Ike Higgins, continuing his ongoing dedication to introducing public-domain concepts for environmental restoration and planetary healing. Introduction In an effort to continue my quest to get new ideas for technology that will help […]
Adjustable 1Amp to 10Amp, 3V to 14V SMPS Circuit: CV, CC, and Short Circuit Protected
If you have ever tried building a high-power inverter, a high-frequency induction heater, or just a solid adjustable lab bench power supply, you already know that controlling both the voltage and current at the same time is an absolute nightmare. Most builders just grab the standard application circuit from the SG3525 datasheet, wire up a […]
How to Add Adjustable Current and Voltage feedback Control to SG3525 High Power Inverters
If you want to build a very heavy power inverter or when you want to make a high frequency induction heater, or when you want to make a lab grade variable SMPS, then getting precise control over both output voltage and current is a major engineering hurdle. Most standard designs using the classic SG3525 PWM […]
