A Wheatstone Bridge circuit is commonly used to measure resistance, inductance, capacitance, and impedance. These are made up of four parts or arms that are joined in series in a diamond like bridge configuration. These four arms carry the individual components such as resistor, inductor or capacitor connected across the fur junctions. An alternating current (AC) or […]

How to Protect MOSFETs – Basics Explained
In this post I will comprehensively explain how to protect mosfets and prevent mosfet burning in electronic circuits by following some basic guidelines related to correct PCB layout, and careful manual handling of these sensitive devices. Introduction Even after connecting everything correctly you find the mosfets in your circuit becoming HOT and blowing off within […]
Parallel Battery Charger Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained two methods of connecting batteries in parallel. The first one below deals with changeover circuit using SPDT switches to charge multiple batteries individually or collectively. These may be connected in parallel using a single battery charger and through a manual SPDT changeover switch bank. The seconds design talks about […]
Types of Solar Panels, Solar Inverters Explained
In this article I have explained the main types of solar panels available in the market, and also discuss the different types solar inverters which are specifically compatible with these solar panels. Further in the article we will also discuss how the efficiency of a solar panel may be affected due to to bad weather, […]
Simple Diode Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how to use rectifier diodes for building some practical and useful electronic circuits. A diode is the most basic semiconductor electronic component, which is built with a single pn semiconductor junction. It has only two terminals, which are referred to as the anode and the cathode. Diodes can be […]
6 Simple AC Bridge Circuits Explained
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 […]
