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 […]
Voltage Control and Protection
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 […]
Transformerless Voltage Stabilizer Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple circuit design which ensures a perfectly stabilized 220 V or 120 V mains voltage across the connected load, without using relays or transformers, rather by the use of accurately dimensioned and self adjusting PWM pulses. The idea was requested by Mr. Mathew. Warning: Circuits I have explained […]
Triac Phase Control using PWM Time Proportional
A triac phase control using a PWM circuit can be useful only if it’s implemented using a time-proportional format, otherwise the response could be haphazard and inefficient. In a few of of my earlier articles as given below: Simple Remote Controlled Fan Regulator Circuit Push Button Fan Regulator with Display Circuit Dimmer Circuit for LED […]
Surge Arrestor Circuit with Measuring Facility
In this post I have explained about a simple surge voltage protector circuit using a fuse and a triac crowbar circuit and also learn the method to record and measure the last maximum surge that could have destroyed the specified load in case the protection was not introduced. The idea was requested by Mr. Akram. […]
