Normally we find Joule Thief Circuits using a toroidal ferrite core with two separate winding, meaning it has a separate primary and secondary winding just like transformers. However, in the article we will discuss about a design which eliminate the requirement of having two separate winding, rather makes use of a single continuous winding with […]

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 […]
