When a DC to AC inverter is operated through a solar panel, it is called a solar inverter. The solar panel power is either directly used for operating the inverter or it’s used for charging the inverter battery. In both the case the inverter works without depending on mains utility grid power. Designing a solar […]

SPDT Relay Switch Circuit using Triac
An efficient solid state single pole double throw or SPDT switch can be built using triacs for replacing a mechanical SPDT. In this post I have explained a simple solid state triac SPDT relay circuit, using an optocoupler and a couple of triacs, which can be used as an effective replacement for mechanical relays. The […]
How to Design an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Circuit
In this brief tutorial I have explained how to design a customized UPS circuit at home using ordinary components such as a few NAND ICs and a some relays. What is an UPS UPS which stands for uninterruptible power supply are inverters designed to provide a seamless AC mains power to a connected load without […]
Generator/UPS/Battery Relay Changeover Circuit
In this article I have explained a generator/UPS/Battery relay changeover circuit for implementing a customized optimization for a generator, UPS, battery power network, in order to enhance the operational efficiency of the system. The idea was requested by Mr. Sidingilizwe. Circuit Objectives and Requirements First of all thank you for adding me to your circles. […]
Mini Welding Machine Circuit for Small Welding Jobs
A welding machine is an electrical device which is able to generate a very high current at relatively low DC voltages. This high current output can be suitably used for creating the intended welding arcs and welding joints. The welding joint is created by fusing the welding rod on the joint area through a high […]
Synchronized 4kva Stackable Inverter
This first part of the proposed 4kva synchronized stackable inverter circuit discusses how to implement the crucial automatic synchronization across the 4 inverters with regards to frequency, phase and voltage to keep the inverters running independent of each other yet achieving an output that’s on par with each other. The idea was requested by Mr. […]
