An AC bridge is a circuit which can be used for measuring parameters like capacitance, resistance, Inductance using differential method, by comparing them with known values of similar components, positioned diagonally across a bridge circuit, and through an analogue meter placed at the center of the bridge. Before we begin talking about the AC bridge […]

Understanding AC Circuit and Calculating AC Waveform
The sinusoidal waveform or sine wave is the most commonly used AC waveform in circuit theory. When a periodic AC waveform is produced by a voltage source, it creates an EMF that changes polarity at regular intervals, with the time it takes to complete one full reversal known as the waveform’s period. Direct current, also […]
How To Use Triac For AC Power Control
Here we are talking about controlling things like lamps, motors, heaters, and other similar electrical loads. The devices we use for this purpose are called thyristor and triac, OK? Both these devices, thyristor and triac, they can actually do this job like simple switch ON/OFF or they can also adjust the power given to these […]
Inductors in AC/DC Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained the response of inductors to DC and AC voltages as well as when applied with capacitors which is often used as a complementing part with an inductor. Properties of Inductor Inductors are known for their property of storing electrical energy in them in the form of magnetic energy. This […]
Difference Between Alternating Current(AC) and Direct Current(DC)
In this post we try to investigate the mains differences between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). The word AC and DC are pretty common with electronics and we all come across it while developing or dealing electronic circuit designs. Overview Though the terms are very ordinary with the field, many noobs become confused […]
220V AC to 56V DC SMPS Circuit for 48V Battery Charging
In this article we will try to understand how to build a 220V AC to 48 V DC SMPS circuit for charging all types of 48V batteries, using the nice little IC IR2153. However, since 48V battery will require a 56V DC, so we will rather discuss a 220V to 56 V DC battery charger […]
