In this post I will comprehensively explain how to protect mosfets and prevent mosfet burning in electronic circuits by following some basic guidelines related to correct PCB layout, and careful manual handling of these sensitive devices. Introduction Even after connecting everything correctly you find the mosfets in your circuit becoming HOT and blowing off within […]

Main Features The IRF3205 leading-edge N-Channel HEXFET® Power MOSFETs from International Rectifier implements hi-tech processing solutions to attain incredibly […]
Pellet Burner Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a programmable sequential timer with controller circuit which may be used for automatically controlling a homemade pellet burner/boiler system. The circuit was requested by Mr. Vasilis. Technical Specifications I have used your circuit on my homemade pellet burner that uses a 12V Ac motor for the feeder screw running […]
Using an NTC Thermistor as a Surge Suppressor
A Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is a device which is able to suppress switch ON current surge due to its initial higher resistance at room temperature. However, as the NTC suppresses the initial surge current, it warms up causing its resistance to drop to nominal levels and this in turns allows the current to […]
Single Phase Preventor Circuit
In this post I have explained a couple simple circuits which when installed will prevent single phase occurrence in a 3 phase system. Introduction We all know that for operating heavy electrical loads three phase power or AC is required in order to make the functioning efficient and viable. However this necessitates the presence of all the three phases […]
