In this post I have explained a few circuit diagrams for building AC motor speed controller circuits using back EMF concept. Working Principle of AC Motors So now, all those home type appliances like electric drill machines, sander machines, sewing machines, food mixer machines, etc. they all are mostly using that AC motor which is […]

Motor Protection Circuits – Over Voltage, Over Heat, Over Current
In this post I have explained a few DC motor protection circuit from harmful conditions like over voltage and under voltage situations, over current, overload etc.. DC motor failures are commonly experienced by many of the users, especially in places where the relevant motor is run for many hours a day. Replacing motor parts or […]
How to Control Motor with a Cell Phone
In the following post I have explained a very simple circuit idea which can be used for controlling a motor’s rotational direction i.e. for moving it either clockwise or anticlockwise through alternate miss calls from your cell phone. The Circuit Concept I have already discussed a novel cell phone controlled remote switch circuit where the […]
Water/Coffee Dispenser Motor Circuit
In this article I have explained a protection circuit which may be used for preventing a “dry run” situation in mini coffee dispenser motor pumps, by sensing the slight difference in its wet and dry current consumption levels. The idea was requested by Mr. Ken Adler. Technical Specifications I read with great interest your post titled, […]
Washing Machine Motor Agitator Timer Circuit
The article details a circuit design for controlling a washing machine motor agitator through a preset time sequence which also includes an alternate reversing of the motor rotation. The circuit was requested by Mr. E.Rama Murthy. Technical Specifications I am having old washing machine which is good working till now. Of late, its PCB has […]
Treadmill Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple, accurate, high torque treadmill motor speed controller circuit which may be effectively installed in similar units for acquiring PWM controlled variable speed feature. The idea was requested by Mr. Samuel. Technical Specifications I’ve a treadmill whose power failed completely…it had been imported from china and it’s like […]
