Precise Battery Capacity Tester Circuit – Backup Time Tester
The precise battery capacity tester circuit explained in the following article can be used for testing the maximum backup capacity of any rechargeable battery in real time. By Timothy John Basic concept The circuit works by practically discharging a fully charged battery under test through constant current, until its voltage reaches the deep discharge value. […]
Circuit Tester Probe – PCB Fault-Finder
This simple circuit tester probe can be used for detecting short circuits, abnormal resistance conditions, continuity breaks etc inside an assembled circuit board or a PCB. The indication will be through an audible buzzer sound or an LED illumination. The described designs are all extremely safe to use even with PCBs that may have highly […]
Remote Control Infrared Tester Circuit
We all use remote control handsets for controlling various household devices such as TV, AC, Music systems, curtains etc, and sometimes we seem to have problems with these devices, or even a newly purchased remote controller unit occasionally seem to malfunction, and identifying the issue becomes quite difficult for us. This simple 2 transistor infrared […]
Capacitor Leakage Tester Circuit – Find Leaky Capacitors Quickly
This simple capacitor tester is capable of testing leaky electrolytic capacitors in the range of 1uf to 450uf. It can test large start and run capacitors as well as 1uf miniature capacitors rated at 10v. Once you understand the timing cycle, you can test down to 0.5uf and up to 650uf. By Henry Bowman How […]
Simple Transformer Winding Tester Circuit
This test set is primarily designed to test step-down, step-up transformers, for open and shorted winding. It can determine if the device under test has a low resistance to ac current. It can also measure the dc current resistancein ohms. By Henry Bowman Introduction The test set uses a 16 VAC, 60hz signal to determine […]
