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 […]
Temperature Triggered DC Fan Speed Controller
This fan speed controller works by sensing the temperature of the engine and is accordingly used for the triggering. As the temperature increases so does the speed of the fan motor and vice versa. Circuit Operation Operation of the proposed temperature controlled fan may be understood as follows: The speed of the DC motor alters […]
DC Power Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a DC power controller circuit which can be used for controlling the power of motors and lamps with maximum efficiency. By Sangeeta Naik How MOSFETs conduct to Handle Power Efficiently A minimum amount of power is lost whenever a power transistor (BJT or MOSFET) is in the turned off […]
DC Biasing in Transistors – BJTs
In simple terms, biasing in BJTs may be defined as a process in which a BJT is activated or switched ON by applying a smaller magnitude of DC is across its base/emitter terminals so that its is able to conduct a relatively larger magnitude of DC across its collector emitter terminals. The working of a […]
3 Simple DC UPS Circuits for Modem/Router
In the following article I have explained 3 useful DC to DC uninterruptible power supply circuits or DC UPS circuits for low DC to DC uninterruptible power applications The first idea below presents a DC UPS circuit can be used for providing back up power to modems or routers during mains failures, so that the broadband/WiFi […]
