The 220 V mains AC line filter circuit described here has two functions: it prevents high-frequency waves from being sent back into the power network and it protects connected equipment from power line disturbances and surges. This circuit employs a number of components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and a varistor, which are deliberately positioned […]

Remote Control using Mains Power Line Communication
The proposed circuit will allow you to remotely control a mains AC operated appliance across rooms of your home through mains power line communication or PLC concept. In PLC technology, an electronic circuit which works as a transmitter is plugged-in to the mains wiring (220 V or 120 V) injects a modulating high frequency data […]
Mains AC Current Detector Switch Circuit
The circuit I have I have explained in this article allows one to detect the current consumed by a device and to power one or more other devices accordingly. Indeed, the solution of a switchboard is not always applicable because it is often not very practical. Furthermore, some devices such as computers only start when […]
