In this post I have explained 2 simple concepts for making solid-state triac based Inverter/mains AC changeover circuit, the idea was requested by Music girl. Technical Specifications I would like to replace the SPDT relay with 2 scr’s. Would you consider a circuit to replace those changeover relays? I believe a relay would need to […]

Solid State Relay (SSR) Circuit using Two MOSFETs
SSR or Solid state relays are high power electrical switches that work without involving mechanical contacts, instead they use just a couple of solid state semiconductors like MOSFETs for switching an electrical load, smoothly, and with high efficiency. SSRs can be used for operating high power loads, through a small input trigger voltage with negligible […]
220V Solid State Relay (SSR) Circuit using Triac and OptoCoupler
An AC mains solid state relay or SSR is a device which is used for switching heavy AC loads at mains level, through isolated minimal DC voltage triggers, without incorporating mechanical moving contacts. In this post I have explained how to construct a simple mains operated solid state relay or an SSR circuit using a […]
4 Solid-State Car Alternator Regulator Circuits Explored
The 4 simple car voltage current regulator circuits I have explained below is created as a immediate alternative to any standard regulator and, although developed principally for a dynamo it will function equally effectively with an alternator. If the functioning of a traditional car alternator voltage regulator is analyzed, we find it amazing that these […]
3-Pin Solid-State Car Turn Indicator Flasher Circuit – Transistorized
Although, most of the car electronics have evolved into solid-sate versions, a turn indicator flasher unit is one device which still depend on a relay based design in many of the modern cars. Disadvantages of Relay Based Flasher There are a couple major disadvantages of a relay based electromechanical flasher unit: 1) First, these being […]
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.
