In this post I will show how to construct a farmer friendly GSM pump motor controller circuit which couldturn on and off the irrigation system remotely from anywhere in the world via cellphone SMS and return you with an acknowledgement message. The idea was requested by Mr. PG Ragavandir. The Design Agriculture is one of […]

3 Phase Induction Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained the making of a simple 3 phase induction motor speed controller circuit, which can be also applied for a single phase induction motor or literally for any type of AC motor. When it comes to controlling the speed of induction motors, normally matrix converters are employed, involving many complex […]
L298N DC Motor Driver Module Explained
In this post I have explained about L298N dual H-bridge DC motor driver module which can be used to drive brushed DC motors and stepper motors with microcontrollers and ICs. Overview Modular circuit boards are best time savior for electronics designers which also reduce the prototyping errors. This is mostly preferred by programmers who write […]
3 Phase Solid State Contactor Circuit: Electronic ON/OFF for Motor Pumps
In this article I have explained how to design and build a solid state contactor circuit using triacs, with ON OFF push electronic switches, for operating heavy duty loads like submersible borewell pump motors with high reliability, and without any concerns about wear and tear issue or long term degradation issues of the contactor unit. […]
Constant Torque Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a DC Motor controller which features a constant torque compensation for enabling the motor to run at a consistent speed irrespective of the load on it. Drawback of Ordinary Speed Controllers One drawback of the majority of simple speed controllers is they only provide the motor with a predetermined […]
DC Shunt Motor Controller Circuit using Variac
The simple DC shunt motor controller circuit presented in the following article uses a variac. This design facilitates an instant stopping of the motor at any stage with a flick of a switch, along with reversing the motor direction. It also provides speed control for the motor with a high level of accuracy. Overview TRIAC […]
