The circuit discussed in this article is of a non-contact mains AC field detector which displays the presence of a mains AC field from a distance of more an 6 inches. Locating Fault in AC Lines without Physical Contact The circuit can be used for locating faults in house wiring without the need of making […]

AC Motor Speed Controller Circuits using Back EMF
In this post I have explained a few circuit diagrams for building AC motor speed controller circuits using back EMF concept. Working Principle of AC Motors So now, all those home type appliances like electric drill machines, sander machines, sewing machines, food mixer machines, etc. they all are mostly using that AC motor which is […]
Simple 220V AC Fan Regulator Circuit using Push Button
In this post we learn about this 220V AC electronic fan regulator circuit using a push button which changes speed step by step with each press. We press the button, then circuit cleans the signal, counts it properly, and then selects a relevant fixed speed level. Each button press moves the fan from OFF to […]
Monitoring 220V AC Load Current using Current Transformer [Circuit Diagram]
In this post I have explained a circuit which can be used for monitoring or controlling AC 220V load current by sensing the load current through a contactless current transformer. Figure 1 below depicts a circuit diagram designed for a non contact load current sensing through a current transformer, which seemed to work well. It is […]
220V AC to 12V DC Flyback SMPS Circuit using IC 555 (7555)
This practical flyback SMPS circuit uses ICM7555 as the main oscillator, and yep the whole idea is to take 220V AC mains directly then convert it into isolated low voltage DC through a ferrite transformer.. Unlike many PWM controller designs, here we have very few parts but still it gives mains isolation, voltage feedback, current […]
Build this 85V–265V AC to 12V 5A SMPS Design Using UC3843 (With Calculations)
This thing is a full SMPS design using UC3843, which takes wide AC input from 85V AC to 265V AC, then gives out 12V DC at 5A, so now it is like a universal input supply, which can be used for 110V AC supplies and also for 220V AC input supplies… Input Protection Stage At […]
