Electronic Power Controller Circuit

This is an electric power controller which implemented the bidirectional triode thyristor(TRIAC). This circuit can manage the electrical power using the a single variable resistor.

This circuit is applied for the dimmer which adjusts the light from the bulb. This circuit adjusts the quantity of the electrical current which flows via the load together with the bidirectional triode thyristor and controls the electric power. It truly is only the alternating voltage that may be controlled with this circuit and it is impossible to perform the control in the DC voltage.

Simply because it controls the passing time in the alternating current by the bidirectional triode thyristor, the electrical current which flows via the load is not the clean sine wave type. Due to the fact it's, there is limitation in the equipment which may be controlled with this circuit. The bidirectional triode thyristor is usually called by the trade name TRIAC.

The equipment which can be controlled

The equipment which works by the resistance. Such as the the tungsten-filament lamp, the soldering iron and so on.
The equipment which is using the AC series motor(with the brush). Such as the drill, the electric fan, the cleaner and so on.

The equipment which can not do the control

The fluorescence light.
The synchronous motor(using the capacitor)

LM317T Voltage Regulator Circuit with Pass Transistor

This is the schematic diagram of voltage regulator circuit with pass transostor. The regulator is based regulator IC of LM317T. The LM317T output current can be raised by utilizing an additional power transistor (on circuit, it is 2N2955) to share a portion of the total current. The amount of current sharing is established with a resistor placed in series with the LM317 input and a resistor placed in series with the emitter of the pass transistor. In the above scheme design , the pass transistor will start conducting when the LM317 current reaches about 1 ampere, due to the voltage drop across the 0.7 ohm resistor. Current limiting happens at about 2 amperes for the LM317 which will drop about 1.4 volts across the 0.7 ohm resistor and make a 700 millivolt drop across the 0.3 ohm emitter resistor. Thus the total current is limited to about 2+ (.7/.3) = 4.3 amperes.

Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) 12V Battery Charger with Current Limiting

This is the circuit design of Smart Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) 12V Battery Charger featuretwith Current Limiting. The charger uses a two step process for charging SLA batteries – a current limited ‘fast’ mode followed by a constant voltage ‘float’ mode. Maximum charging current is 1A. An onboard LED indicates when the charger is in ‘fast’ mode. When the LED goes out the battery is charged and the charger has switched to ‘float’ mode.

6V to 12V DC Voltage Doubler

Here is the 6V to 12V DC voltage doubler circuit design, it also called DC voltage miltiplier or DC to DC converter. This dc voltage doubler circuit will need about 2A from the 6V input supply to produce the full 800mA at 12V for the power output. This circuit is very useful to generate higher voltage from a low power source, but this circuit will deliver low output current. So it should only be used for low current driven applications. Also, the output voltage may be unstable, so a voltage regulator (IC78XX) of proper rating can be used regulation and smooth output. But voltage regulator IC itself consume some current, and reduce the deliverable current.
