Refrigerator Motor Soft Start Circuit
Refrigerators tend to draw appreciable amounts of current each time their compressor switch ON, and this could happen many times per day. A soft start circuit to the compressor motor could probably tackle this issue and help save electricity. The idea was requested by Mr. Naeem Khan. Technical Specifications I need your help regarding to […]
How to Make a PWM Controlled Fan Regulator Circuit
In this article we look into a simple 220V mains PWM controlled fan or light regulator circuit which does not require a microcontroller or costly triac drivers for the intended operations. Capacitive Phase Chopping All Ordinary types fan regulator and dimmers which rely on capacitive phase chopping technology have one drawback in common, these generate […]
Water/Coffee Dispenser Motor Circuit
In this article I have explained a protection circuit which may be used for preventing a “dry run” situation in mini coffee dispenser motor pumps, by sensing the slight difference in its wet and dry current consumption levels. The idea was requested by Mr. Ken Adler. Technical Specifications I read with great interest your post titled, […]
Washing Machine Motor Agitator Timer Circuit
The article details a circuit design for controlling a washing machine motor agitator through a preset time sequence which also includes an alternate reversing of the motor rotation. The circuit was requested by Mr. E.Rama Murthy. Technical Specifications I am having old washing machine which is good working till now. Of late, its PCB has […]
