The proposed AC mains 220 V load over current cut off circuit continuously monitors the current flowing through a connected load. If this current increases beyond a certain preset level, the circuit trips the relay and disconnects the load from the AC. Basic Working This 220 V over current cut off circuit is indeed subject […]

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 […]
AC Millivolts Meter Circuit Using IC 741
In this article we study an op amp based millivolt meter circuit designed to measure AC millivolts accurately, I have explained the details from the following explanation. The circuit shown below can be used to measure DC potentials in the range of milli-volts. The circuit is highly sensitive and is calibrated to measure voltages in […]
Make an LED AC Voltage Indicator Monitor Circuit
The LED AC mains voltage level indicator is a circuit that can be used for displaying and monitoring the instantaneous voltage level of any 220 V or 120 V mains home AC input, through a correspondingly rising and falling LED bar graph. A simple construction and accurate result are the main features of this tiny […]
Mains 220 V AC Line Filter Circuit for Transient Suppression
The 220 V mains AC line filter circuit described here has two functions: it prevents high-frequency waves from being sent back into the power network and it protects connected equipment from power line disturbances and surges. This circuit employs a number of components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and a varistor, which are deliberately positioned […]
Convert any Existing AC Lamp into Timer Controlled Lamp
The proposed push button timer circuit module can be directly integrated with any existing switch contacts of a lamp and enable the lamp to be converted into a timer controlled lamp. A common problem arises whenever one wants to replace a mains AC lamp controlled by a switch with a timer or a time switch. […]
