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 […]

Prevent Amplifier Fuse from Blowing During Power Switch ON
Is your power amplifier fuse blowing during power switch ON? It could be happening due to the initial high current drawn by the loudspeakers, when power is switched ON. The simple amplifier fuse protection circuits presented here can be effectively used for solving the issue. The problem is commonly seen in high power amplifiers, where […]
1000 watt to 2000 watt Power Amplifier Circuit Diagram
In this article I will elaborately discuss a simple to built yet awesome 1000 watt amplifier circuit, which could be easily upgraded to achieve upto 2000 watt output. It uses relatively fewer components and could be quickly set up for getting a massive 1000 watt power output on any 4 ohm, 1kva loudspeaker. This circuit […]
400V 40A Darlington Power Transistor Datasheet Specifications: MJ10022, MJ10023
In this post we investigate the datasheet and technical specifications of a 400V, 40A (ampere) power Darlington transistor MJ10022 and MJ10023, and also learn the main features of the device. We mostly find it difficult when it comes to finding a BJT with extreme voltage and current specifications such as with a 400V and 40 […]
How to Repair a Switch-Mode-Power-Supply (SMPS)
In this post we try to diagnose a burnt SMPS circuit and try to troubleshoot and repair the circuit. The shown unit is a cheap readymade Chinese make SMPS circuit. This article is written as per the request made by Mr. Kesava. My SMPS got Burnt The below attachment is 12v 1.3 amps SMPS for […]
Over Current Cut-off Power Supply Using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a battery eliminator / DC variable power supply which will automatically cut-off the supply, if the current flow through the load exceeds the preset threshold level. Main Technical Features The proposed over current cut-off power supply circuit using Arduino has 16 X 2 LCD display, which is […]
