The 5 simple dry run protector circuits presented here shows simple methods by which insufficient water conditions inside an underground tank can be sensed without introducing probes inside the underground tank, and thus preventing any possibility of motor dry running. The circuit also incorporates an overhead water overflow control feature. The idea was requested by […]

5 Simple DC Motor Speed Controller Circuits Explained
A circuit which enables a user to linearly control the speed of a connected motor by rotating an attached potentiometer is called a motor speed controller circuit. 5 easy to build speed controller circuits for DC motors are presented here, first one using MOSFET IRF540, second one using IC 555, the third concept with IC […]
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 […]
Making a Flynn Motor
The post provides an in-depth description of the Flynn motor circuit concept and furnishes the rough replication details for the same. Parallel Path Concept In one of my previous posts we got a comprehensive view regarding what’s populary known as the parallel path magnetic theory In this theory a relatively weaker electromagnetic assistance is used […]
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, […]
Borewell Motor Pump Starter Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a circuit which controls a submersible borewell motor by operating its red (Start) and green (Stop) buttons, in response to low level, high level water conditions, and also in a condition where the motor may experience a dry run situation. The idea was requested by Mr. Vamsi. Automatic Start/Stop […]
