In this post I have explained the main features datasheet of high current N-Channel mosfet IRFP2907 which is rated to handle up to a staggering 209 amps of continuous current at a reasonably massive 75 volts. High Current Specs With the advent of mosfets, switching huge power through compact packages has become particularly feasible. Take […]

High Current Sensorless BLDC Motor Controller using Back EMF
In this post I have explained a high current sensorless BLDC motor controller circuit which does not depend on hall effect sensors for initiating the operations rather utilizes the back EMF from the motor for the sequential input Overview For proper commutation most 3-phase BLDC driver circuits rely either on a sensor based feedback or […]
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 […]
How to Measure Transformer’s Current Capacity
We can use a shunt resistor and ammeter concept to find out how much maximum current a transformer can give, in other words, we are trying to know the current rating or amp capacity of a transformer. If you do not wish to read the full article below, you can feel free to watch the […]
How to Measure Very Low Current [Circuit Diagram]
Accurately measuring very low currents of a few microamps or less using a regular panel meter or multimeter is not feasible. To make such precise measurements, you need to employ an active circuit, like the one depicted here. This circuit low current ammeter circuit can be constructed as a self-contained unit or integrated into an […]
Testing Alternator Current using Dummy Load
In this post I have explained a method of checking or verifying alternator maximum current delivering capacity using a shunt regulator as the dummy load and an ammeter. The idea was inquired by Mr. Joe. Circuit Question I need help designing an electronic dummy load that can handle high enough power from motorcycle alternator. I […]
