This is a high voltage 310V to 60V buck converter, so we have that big 310V DC coming in which we usually get after rectifying 220V AC mains. So now that high DC is there and we want to push it down to something like 60V or lower for battery charging or similar work. Audio/Video […]
SMPS and Converters
Make this DIY Spot Welding Machine using MOT and IC 555
Building a spot welding machine at home, it does not really need those complex SMPS circuits or costly stuff, nope. Instead a much simpler way is there, which people use, and it works quite well. We can use a microwave oven transformer, that MOT, and then add a small timing circuit with it, so now […]
SMPS Spot Welding Circuit using IC SG3525 Explained
Spot welding needs very low voltage but very high current, that too for very short time, so now this whole thing is built around that idea. In this design we push big current in small time period for safely creating the required welding joint, done. Audio/Video Representation How the Circuit Works Now the circuit, it […]
Calculator to Design a High Power 3kW PFC (Power Factor Correction) Circuit
In this post I will explain how to use this active PFC calculator for calculating high current, high PFC designs. In our example we will be using 230 VAC input and 3 kW output and Vout equal to around 390 V, and we will try to see how each resistor and capacitor gets calculated in […]
12V, 5 Amp SMPS Battery Charger Circuit
In this article we study a simple flyback based converter design which is implemented as an SMPS 12V, 5amp battery charger power supply, without using a iron core transformer. How it Works The proposed 12V, 5 amp smps battery charger circuit employs a flyback converter topology which results in the required smps based high current, […]
220V AC to 56V DC SMPS Circuit for 48V Battery Charging
In this article we will try to understand how to build a 220V AC to 48 V DC SMPS circuit for charging all types of 48V batteries, using the nice little IC IR2153. However, since 48V battery will require a 56V DC, so we will rather discuss a 220V to 56 V DC battery charger […]
