This simple capacitor tester is capable of testing leaky electrolytic capacitors in the range of 1uf to 450uf. It can test large start and run capacitors as well as 1uf miniature capacitors rated at 10v. Once you understand the timing cycle, you can test down to 0.5uf and up to 650uf. By Henry Bowman How […]

LPG Leakage SMS Alert using MQ-135 – Get Warning Message in your Cellphone
In this article I will show how to construct an GSM based LPG leakage SMS alert circuit using Arduino, which alerts the recipient via SMS and surrounding people via beep, when LPG gas leaks out from the LPG cylinder or if there’s leakage due to improperly closed valve. Using MQ-135 as the Sensor We are […]

Written by: Sai Srinivas The Concept This circuit is a simple solution for detecting LPG gas leakage in households which causes severe physical and monetary losses if left unattended for […]
Earth Leakage Indicator Circuit for Detecting Current Leakages in Ground Wires
A simple earth leakage indicator circuit discussed here can be used for getting some very useful results regarding current leakages from an appliance body into the earth pin. The idea was requested by Mr. SS kopparthy. The circuit of the proposed earth leakage indicator is shown in the figure below. Each such unit may be […]
2 Simple Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) Explained
The discussed Earth leakage circuit breaker diagrams will monitor the leakage current level of the earthing line of your house electrical sockets and will trip the appliances as soon a fault is detected. Here I have explained 2 designs, first using transistors only and the second using IC LM324. Introduction If anything goes wrong with […]
