Solid State Tesla Coil with 555 Timer

Solid State Tesla Coil with 555 Timer
Here the circuit diagram of solid state tesla coil with 555 timer.

Single transistor flyback driver induced a lot of complications on account of it really is operating principle. I received e-mails from those who had been unable to obtain it functional even after they are positive that their flyback and transistor is Okay. Moreover, because it is resonance frequency is determined by each individual a part of the method, any time you seek to draw an arc in the transformer, it alterations substantially in a lot of the circumstances. Simply because the operating frequency is vital for your security criteria, (each for mine and electrical power transistor's), I determined to generate it run on a continuous frequency and developed up yet another easy circuit, attempting to keep within the specified limits in the 555 timer.



Setting the operating frequency with an integrated timer is simple and practical. This schematic is absolutely nothing over the normal astable mode circuit layout having a traditional 555. It calls for only two resistors as well as a capacitor to set frequency (with duty cycle certainly) and a further resistor to ascertain electrical power transistor's base current, which it is possible to uncover it is optimal worth experimentally. I employed 1K for R1, two.2K for R2, and 10nF for C which produced circuit to run practically at 27 kHz theoretically, at %60 higher to %40 minimal duty cycle. You may easily calculate operating parameters in the resistance and capacitor values which has a tiny system that I've written.

Values offered for R1, R2 and C within this circuit diagram would be the ones employed on my prototype. You could possibly transform R1 and use a trimmer as a substitute for R2 to discover an optimum frequency / duty cycle blend to your flyback. By shifting C, you may possess the capacity to use increased or reduced resistor values, but tend not to desire as well minimal resistances (primarily for R1) for to not overload 555.

Energy transistor just isn't significant and any other could be applied so long as it really is qualities are equivalent or greater. Listed below are the technical datas for BD243C for comparison:

Bipolar NPN transistor : BD243C
Casing : TO220
Max. collector current : 6 Amperes
Max. complete energy : 65 Watts, even though situation is at 25 degrees Celsius
Transition frequency : 3 MHz
hFE (current obtain) : 30 at 300mA (minimal value)

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.
