High Power Industrial Mains Surge Suppressor Explored
In this post I have explained a high energy surge suppressor circuit using high capacity industrial MOVs for suppressing high current mains surges in industrial electrical lines. The Circuit Problem: I’ve been reading a lot of your design ideas and I am extremely impressed with your designs. I don’t have anywhere near your level of […]
Make this Simple Refrigerator Door Open Alarm Circuit
This presented refrigerator door open alarm circuit which alerts you after a period of time whenever your refrigerator door is left open. This circuit becomes very handy, because in case the door is left due to carelessness may cause significant increase in the consumption and affect the life of the fridge. Circuit Operation This circuit […]
Simple Shadow Sensor Alarm Circuit
This shadow detector circuit operates using two LDRs and effectively detects the difference between the light levels and triggers a loud audible warning siren. In circuits which uses a single LDR (photoresist), the detection may not be as sharp as with two LDRs discussed here.Operational details of the shadow detector circuit may be studied as […]
Make this Simple Music Box Circuit
This simple circuit can be used to emulate the operation of a music box. The number of notes may be limited to 10 at the most, and therefore is capable of generating a simple melody. By: Akanksha Rathode Circuit Operation The circuit uses two popular integrated circuits: The timer 555 and 4017 decade counter Operation […]
Lathe Machine Over Load Protector Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple overload cut off circuit for safeguarding heavy mains operated machines such as a lathe machine. The idea was requested by Mr. Howard Dean. Technical Specifications May I first say I have very little knowledge of electronics although I could follow a simple diagram. I operate a small […]
