In this post I have explained how a single LM324 IC can be used to create an adjustable voltage regulator circuit with overload and over current protections. Basic Working A basic IC LM324 quad operational amplifier regulates an unregulated 28-volt input source to approximately ±0.02%, resulting in a 1 amp 0 to -20 V supply. The […]

Lathe Machine Over Load Protector Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple overload cut off circuit for safeguarding heavy mains operated machines such as a lathe machine. The idea was requested by Mr. Howard Dean. Technical Specifications May I first say I have very little knowledge of electronics although I could follow a simple diagram. I operate a small […]
AC 220V Over Current Monitor and Cut OFF Circuit
The proposed AC mains 220 V load over current cut off circuit continuously monitors the current flowing through a connected load. If this current increases beyond a certain preset level, the circuit trips the relay and disconnects the load from the AC. Basic Working This 220 V over current cut off circuit is indeed subject […]
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 […]
Simple Crowbar Circuits for Over-voltage Protection
A handful of simple DC over voltage protector crowbar circuits are discussed in this article. I have explained the working of each crowbar circuit through the following explanation. What is Crowbar Circuit If you are wondering what is a crowbar circuit, the definition is simple. It is a circuit network where a transistor or an […]
Cheap Semi Automatic, Tank Water Over Flow Controller Circuit
The circuit presented here monitors the level of the water rising inside a tank and automatically switches OFF the pump motor as soon as the water level reaches the brim of the tank. The proposed tank water overflow controller circuit is a semi automatic device because it can only sense an overfill and switch OFF […]
