How to Make a Bridge Rectifier
A bridge rectifier is an electronic network using 4 diodes which is used for converting an AC input to DC output. The process is called full wave rectification. Here I have explained the basic working principle of rectifier diodes such as a 1N4007 or a 1N5408, and also learn how to connect 1N4007 diodes to […]
SCR Shunt Circuit for Protecting LED Drivers
The post presents an effective method for protecting capacitive LED driver circuits through an SCR shunt regulator circuit and explains how it can prevent filter capacitors from blowing of and LEDs from getting destroyed. The remedy was requested by Mr. Max Payne. Protecting High Watt LEDs Please suggest regarding 3W, 5W LED bulb circuit design fault. […]
