The electric fence charger circuit presented here is basically a high voltage pulse generator. The super high voltage is derived from a commonly used automobile ignition coil. An astable multivibrator is used to generate the required frequency to drive the ignition coil. Another astable is used to control the pulses supplied to the fence. Audio/Video […]

Monitoring 220V AC Load Current using Current Transformer [Circuit Diagram]
In this post I have explained a circuit which can be used for monitoring or controlling AC 220V load current by sensing the load current through a contactless current transformer. Figure 1 below depicts a circuit diagram designed for a non contact load current sensing through a current transformer, which seemed to work well. It is […]
Fence Charger Animal Contact Detector Circuit with Audible Buzzer
In one of my electric fence charger articles, one reader asked me something interesting. He wanted to know whether a buzzer could be made to sound whenever an animal touches the fence. At first I was thinking about a current sensing method because that looks like the obvious way. But after looking at how electric […]
Mains High Low Voltage Protection Circuit with Delay Monitor
In this post I have explained an upgraded version of my previous mains 220V/120V high-low voltage cut off protection circuit which now includes a delayed restoration of power for the load with 3 LED power status indicators. The idea was requested by one of the dedicated members of this website. Circuit Objectives and Requirements Main […]
Simple Car Shock Alarm Circuit
A simple car shock alarm circuit I have I have explained in this article can eb effectively used to alarm the owner each time the car comes across some kind of vibrational intrusion ether from a potential theft of simply a damaging hit from an external source. Introduction Today most of the cars are equipped […]
Simple Motorcycle Security Alarm Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple motorcycle ant-theft security alarm circuit using a tilt switch and a TTP223 touch switch. The circuit was requested by Mr. Sergei, as given below. Design Request and Specifications I am a motorcyclist and I would like to ask you to design a simple and cheap alarm system […]
