Simple Ceiling Fan Regulator Circuit
A simple electronic ceiling fan regulator circuit using a triac and a diac is a common type of circuit which is used to control the speed of a ceiling fan. This circuit basically works using phase control principle, in which the voltage supplied to the fan motor is varied by controlling the firing angle of […]
Motor Protection Circuits – Over Voltage, Over Heat, Over Current
In this post I have explained a few DC motor protection circuit from harmful conditions like over voltage and under voltage situations, over current, overload etc.. DC motor failures are commonly experienced by many of the users, especially in places where the relevant motor is run for many hours a day. Replacing motor parts or […]
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 […]
High Voltage DC Motor Speed Regulator Circuit
In the realm of motor control systems, high voltage DC motors play a crucial role in numerous industrial and automotive applications. Efficiently controlling the speed of these motors while ensuring operator safety and isolating sensitive components can be a challenging task. However, with the advent of advanced technologies, such as optocoupler motor controller power stages, […]
High Current Sensorless BLDC Motor Controller using Back EMF
In this post I have explained a high current sensorless BLDC motor controller circuit which does not depend on hall effect sensors for initiating the operations rather utilizes the back EMF from the motor for the sequential input Overview For proper commutation most 3-phase BLDC driver circuits rely either on a sensor based feedback or […]
