In this post we learn about this 220V AC electronic fan regulator circuit using a push button which changes speed step by step with each press. We press the button, then circuit cleans the signal, counts it properly, and then selects a relevant fixed speed level. Each button press moves the fan from OFF to […]

Understanding Scalar (V/f) Control for Induction Motors
In this article I will try to explain how scalar control algorithm is implemented for controlling induction motor speed with relatively straightforward calculations, and yet achieve a reasonably good linearly variable speed control of the motor. Reports from many top market analysis reveal that induction motors are the most popular when it comes to handling […]
Constant Torque Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a DC Motor controller which features a constant torque compensation for enabling the motor to run at a consistent speed irrespective of the load on it. Drawback of Ordinary Speed Controllers One drawback of the majority of simple speed controllers is they only provide the motor with a predetermined […]
Adjustable Drill Machine Speed Controller Circuit
The proposed variable drill speed controller circuit maintains a constant (adjustable) speed over the drill machine motor, regardless of the load. One of the most used power tools is the power drill machine. Despite its innumerable advantages, the power drill has one major setback – constant high speed for many applications. Even when there are […]
DC Shunt Motor Controller Circuit using Variac
The simple DC shunt motor controller circuit presented in the following article uses a variac. This design facilitates an instant stopping of the motor at any stage with a flick of a switch, along with reversing the motor direction. It also provides speed control for the motor with a high level of accuracy. Overview TRIAC […]
Line Laser Controlled Motor Alignment Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple line laser controlled motor driver circuit, which works by responding to a precision horizontal laser line, generated from a line laser level device, and automatically adjusts the alignment of the connected tool or the job work with extreme perfection and accuracy. What is Line Laser The line […]
