Monitoring 220V AC Load Current using Current Transformer [Circuit Diagram]
In this post I have explained a circuit which can be used for monitoring or controlling AC 220V load current by sensing the load current through a contactless current transformer. Figure 1 below depicts a circuit diagram designed for a non contact load current sensing through a current transformer, which seemed to work well. It is […]
Single Transformer Inverter/Charger Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build an innovative inverter circuit with a single transformer that works both as an inverter and a battery charger transformer, I have explained the details from the following discussion. The Circuit Objective Though you may find many inverters having an integral battery charger, the section will mostly […]
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 […]
How to Make a Transformer Winding Counter Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a simple transformer winding counter circuit using ordinary LEDs and also through an advanced digital display circuit. The idea was requested by one of the dedicated readers of this blog Circuit Objectives and Requirements I want a circuit which counts a number of turns for winding […]
