An AC mains solid state relay or SSR is a device which is used for switching heavy AC loads at mains level, through isolated minimal DC voltage triggers, without incorporating mechanical moving contacts. In this post I have explained how to construct a simple mains operated solid state relay or an SSR circuit using a […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
220V Dual Alternate Lamp Flasher Circuit
This is a mains operated transformerless flasher circuit that can be used for alternately switching a couple of CFL or similar 220V/120V lamp to produce a decorative lighting effect. Circuit Operation The below shown design depicts a simple mains operated dual or alternate lamp flasher, which is designed to flash or blink two mains operated […]
220 V Slow Fade Bedside Lamp Circuit
The operating principle of this children’s night light is to gradually familiarize the child with darkness by gradually reducing the brightness of their bedside lamp. The room’s brightness will slowly fade away and completely extinguish after a duration ranging approximately between twenty minutes and 5 to 7 hours. This duration can be adjusted from week […]
220 V Multiple Light Effect Generator Circuit
If you are looking for a multiple light effect generator circuit to generate sequencing, reverse/forward light effects, using 220 V colorful lamps, then this circuit might help you. How the Circuit Works The following figure displays the Light Effect Generator circuit diagram. This circuit has an oscillator, a few control logic stages, a 5 V […]
200, 600 LED String Circuit on Mains 220V
In this post I have explained the construction of a 200 to 600 LED circuit project, using series parallel LEDs for creating an alphabetical display sign board. The idea was requested by Mr. Mubarak Idris. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I need a blinking LED light that show”WELCOME TO” blink and then “COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING” base […]
2.4 GHz 10 Channel Remote Control Switch Circuit
In this post I will show how to construct a 10 channel remote control switch circuit based on ISM (industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Introduction The ISM band is operated at 2.4 GHz, which can be used without licensing with reasonable power output. The proposed project is general purpose ON/OFF wireless switch, which can be […]
