In this article I have explained a relatively simple triac controlled automatic mains voltage stabilizer circuit, which uses logic ICs and a few triacs for controlling the mains voltage levels. Why Solid State Being solid state in design, the voltage switching transitions are very smooth with minimum wear and tear, resulting in efficient voltage stabilization. […]

SCR Applications Circuits
In this article I have explained many interesting SCR application circuits and also learn the main features and properties of an SCR also called a thyristor device. What’s an SCR or Thyristor SCR is the acronym of Silicon Controlled Rectifier, as the name suggests it’s a kind of diode or a rectifying agent whose conduction […]
Grid-tie Inverter (GTI) Circuit Using SCR
Grid-tie inverter concepts may appear to be complex due to the many criticalities involved with them, however with some intelligent thinking it could be actually implemented using primitive technologies. One of the ideas has been explored here. Introduction The discussed idea of a simple grid-tie inverter circuit was suggested by one of the interested readers […]
SCR Voltage Regulator Circuit
In this article I have explained how to build a highly efficient voltage regulator circuit using an SCR and some other external components. This SCR voltage regulator circuit being a switching kind of regulator is more efficient than the normal 3 pin voltage regulators, or the transistor zener based series pass regulators circuits. How the […]
SCR Shunt Circuit for Protecting LED Drivers
The post presents an effective method for protecting capacitive LED driver circuits through an SCR shunt regulator circuit and explains how it can prevent filter capacitors from blowing of and LEDs from getting destroyed. The remedy was requested by Mr. Max Payne. Protecting High Watt LEDs Please suggest regarding 3W, 5W LED bulb circuit design fault. […]
