3 Solid-State Single IC 220V Adjustable Power Supply Circuits
These AC to DC power supplies use a single chip to convert mains 220 V or 120 V input AC into 12 V or 5 V DC without depending on a transformer. Three simple yet efficient 220V single chip based solid state transformerless adjustable solid-state power supply circuits are discussed here. The first one works […]
Easiest Single Axis Solar Tracker System
In this post I have explained how to make a very easy solar tracker circuit using a predetermined algorithm through a 555 IC timer circuit. Introduction In this site I have already published a solar tracker system circuit which is intended for automatically adjusting the solar panel face such that it stays perpendicular to the incident sun rays at […]
Operating a DC Motor Clockwise/Anticlockwise with a Single Switch
The following post discusses the wiring connections for driving a DC motor in clockwise and anticlockwise directions with the help of a single toggle switch and a relay circuit. The idea was requested by one the interested followers of this blog. I have explained more: Technical Specifications We have our project in school. Our professor […]
Single Mosfet Timer Circuit
The following article discusses the use of a mosfet as a switch for toggling high current loads efficiently. The circuit can be also transformed into a delay OFF circuit with simple modifications. The design was requested by Mr.Roderel Masibay. Comparing Mosfet with BJT A field effect transistor or mosfet can be compared with a bjt […]
Operating Single Rice Bulb Lamp with 220V AC
In this post I have explained a simple 220V mains operated transformerless single rice bulb power supply circuit, which may be used for illuminating electronic rice lamp diyas replacing traditional oil lamp type diyas during festivals or for decorating sacred idols. The idea was requested by Ms. Rashmi. Technical Specifications I want to make a rice […]
