High Current Transformerless Power Supply Circuit
The simple configuration of a transformerless power supply circuit presented below is able to provide high current at any assigned fixed voltage level. The idea seems to have solved the problem of deriving high current from capacitive power supplies which earlier seemed a difficult proposition. Introduction I have discussed a few transformerless power supply circuits […]

Regulated, High Current Power Supply Circuit
The circuit I have explained below can be used for applications that require stringent voltage regulations and ripple rejection criteria. The transistor pair are configured such that all residual ripple factor are perfectly rectified. Circuit Operation The circuit below shows a simple way of acquiring a perfectly regulated and stabilized high current DC voltage output using ordinary transistors. The circuit […]
High Voltage Constant Current Source Circuit
The presented circuit offers an adjustable constant current source capable of reaching up to 60mA, operating at voltages as high as 350V. Circuit Description The input stage, consisting of resistor R1 and zener diode ZD1, delivers 8V to the regulator (a 7805), maintaining this voltage relative to its reference line. This voltage level ensures sufficient […]
3 Tested 220V High and Low Voltage Cut OFF Circuits Using IC LM324 and Transistors
An AC mains high/low cut-off device will cut off or disconnect the mains supply from home electrical whenever a high voltage or low voltage situation is detected. In this way it ensures total safety to the home wiring and appliances from fire hazards, due to abnormal over voltages, brown outs or low voltages. In this […]
