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 […]

5 Interesting Flip Flop Circuits – Load ON/OFF with Push-Button
Five simple yet effective electronic toggle flip flop switch circuits can be built around the IC 4017, IC 4093, and IC 4013. We will see how these can be implemented for switching a relay alternately ON OFF by alternately pressing a single push-button or through touch pads, which in turn will switch an electronic load […]
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 […]
Grid Load Power Monitor Circuit for GTI
In this post I have explained a circuit idea which can be used as a power monitor and control system for ensuring that only the specified amount of watts is allowed to enter into the allocated socket, as per the maximum calculated wattage of the appliances connected across those points. The idea was requested by […]
Electronic Load Controller (ELC) Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple electronic load controller or governor circuit which automatically regulates and controls the rotational speed of a hydro-electric generator system by adding or deducting an array of dummy loads. The procedure ensures a stabilized voltage and frequency output for the user. The idea was requested by Mr. Aponso […]
Load-Line Analysis in BJT Circuits
So far we have been studying BJT analysis dependent on the level of β over their corresponding operating points (Q-point). In this discussion we will check out how a given circuit conditions can help in determining the possible range of operating points or Q-points and in establishing the actual Q-point. What is Load Line Analysis […]
