If you want to build a very heavy power inverter or when you want to make a high frequency induction heater, or when you want to make a lab grade variable SMPS, then getting precise control over both output voltage and current is a major engineering hurdle. Most standard designs using the classic SG3525 PWM […]

High Voltage Battery Charger Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple automatic High Voltage Battery Charger Circuit which can be used for an automatic charging control of any preferred high voltage battery bank such as a 360V battery bank. The idea was requested by “resonance”. Circuit Objectives and Requirements Circuit Diagram The Design The figure above shows a […]
How to Connect Two TRIACs in Series for High Voltage Loads
Normally, for standard 220V AC household projects, a single 600V or 800V TRIAC is more than enough. But what if you are working with a very high voltage line, like 1000V AC? A single common TRIAC will immediately burn and short circuit because it cannot handle that much voltage stress. To solve this, we can […]
90V to 400V Low Voltage Cutoff Circuit for Solar Inverters
Today we are going to discuss a purely analog high voltage protection circuit which is specially designed for solar power systems working with PV voltages from around 90 volts up to 400 volts DC. The main purpose of this circuit is to disconnect the inverter whenever the solar panel voltage falls below a safe level, […]
High Voltage, High Current Buck Converter Circuit using Isolated Gate Driver
This is a high voltage 310V to 60V buck converter, so we have that big 310V DC coming in which we usually get after rectifying 220V AC mains. So now that high DC is there and we want to push it down to something like 60V or lower for battery charging or similar work. Audio/Video […]
