In this article I have explained a set up for testing MOVs which are special devices specified for absorbing instantaneous high surge currents that may accidentally occur in our mains electrical lines. The idea was requested by Mr. Kevin Technical Specifications I’m Kevin Montañez, a university Electrical Engineering student here in Cebu, Philippines. As I […]
Voltage Control and Protection
Mains AC Home Protector Circuit
This simple mains 220 V, 110 V AC voltage home protector circuit will protect all the mains operated appliances of your home from high and low voltage situations and also from sudden voltage surge. The circuit can be used with 220 V AC inputs and also with 110 V AC inputs. The circuit will basically […]
Adjustable Voltage Regulator Circuit using LM324 IC with Over Current Protection
In this post I have explained how a single LM324 IC can be used to create an adjustable voltage regulator circuit with overload and over current protections. Basic Working A basic IC LM324 quad operational amplifier regulates an unregulated 28-volt input source to approximately ±0.02%, resulting in a 1 amp 0 to -20 V supply. The […]
3 Tested 220V High and Low Voltage Cut OFF Circuits Using IC LM324 and Transistors
An AC mains high/low cut-off device will cut off or disconnect the mains supply from home electrical whenever a high voltage or low voltage situation is detected. In this way it ensures total safety to the home wiring and appliances from fire hazards, due to abnormal over voltages, brown outs or low voltages. In this […]
DC Power Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a DC power controller circuit which can be used for controlling the power of motors and lamps with maximum efficiency. By Sangeeta Naik How MOSFETs conduct to Handle Power Efficiently A minimum amount of power is lost whenever a power transistor (BJT or MOSFET) is in the turned off […]
5 KVA to 10 KVA Automatic Voltage Stabilizer – 220 Volts, 120 Volts
Voltage stabilizer in the range of kVAs are powerful AC voltage stabilizer units specially designed for controlling and stabilizing high voltage fluctuations, for high power electrical equipment. In this article I have explained an easy to build a 7 stage high wattage in the order of 5000 to 1000 watts stabilizer circuit which can be […]
