In this post I have explained a smart mains fire hazard protector circuit which can be used for preventing mains grid transformers from over heating and causing sparks or even burning due to a possible fire. The idea was requested by Mr. Ravindra Shedge Technical Specifications I am Ravindra Shedge from Mumbai. I am looking […]
Voltage Control and Protection
Prevent Relay Arcing using RC Snubber Circuits
In this article I have explained the formula and techniques of configuring RC circuit networks for controlling the arcing across relay contacts while switching heavy inductive loads. Arc suppression An arc is produced across the contacts when a switch or a relay is opened. With time, this condition can wear down the contacts. To overcome […]
2-Stage Mains AC Voltage Stabilizer Circuit
In this article I have explained how to make a 2 relay or two stage mains AC voltage stabilizer circuit for controlling and regulating 220V or 120V mains voltages through a simple circuit. Introduction In this power stabilizer circuit, one relay is wired to select the high or the low tap from the stabilizer transformer […]
Mains AC Overload protection Circuit for Voltage Stabilizers
In this article I have explained how to make a cheap yet effective mains operated AC overload and over-current protector circuit using very ordinary discrete components. Introduction I have published a few mains voltage stabilizer circuits in this blog, these units are designed and intended for safeguarding the connected appliances at their outputs. However these […]
Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) Analyzer
The post below discusses an automatic voltage analyzer circuit which can be used for understanding and verifying the output conditions of an AVR. The idea was requested by Mr. Abu-Hafss. Technical Specifications I want to make an analyzer for Automotive Voltage Regulator (AVR). 1. The three wires of the AVR are connected to the corresponding […]
Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) Circuit
An automatic voltage regulator circuit is quite well used where Voltage supply is only 120VAC. Many gadgets can operate good at 220V Ac that is why Voltage regulation is needed. By: Mehran Manzoor For this matter an appropriate voltage Regulator circuit is designed which can operate up to capacity of 1KW and gives Variable voltage […]
