Power Supply Failure Alarm

Image
Most of the power supply failure indicator circuits need a separate power-supply for them-selves. But the alarm circuit presented here needs no additional supply source. It employs an electrolytic capacitor to store adequate charge, to feed power to the alarm circuit which sounds an alarm for a reasonable duration when the mains supply fails. During the presence of mains power supply, the rectified mains voltage is stepped down to a required low level. Power Supply Failure Alarm Circuit Diagram: A zener is used to limit the filtered voltage to 15-volt level. Mains presence is indicated by an LED. The low-level DC is used for charging capacitor C3 and reverse biasing switching transistor T1. Thus, transistor T1 remains cut-off as long as the mains supply is present. As soon as the mains power fails, the charge stored in the capacitor acts as a power-supply source for transistor T1. Since, in the absence of mains supply, the base of transistor is pulled ‘low’ via resistor R8, it conduct...

Most of the circuit power supply failure alarm circuits require additional or external power supply. However, this circuit requires no additional power supply. The circuit uses a voltage of 5 volts to 15 volts. To adjust the voltage of this circuit, first connect the power source (5 to 15V) and change the position of potentiometer VR1 until the buzzer buzzer On to Off position. If the power supply fails, resistor R2 will bias the transistor and the base will turn on the buzzer. Here is a picture series of power supply failure alarm :  Power Supply Failure Alarm  Circuit

E Failure to drop out

E) Failure to drop out 1)Coil not disconnected from supply Remedy: Check wiring of the coil circuit 2)Residual magnetism due to lack of air gap in the central is over limb of the magnet Remedy: The mechanical life of contactor. Replacement 3)Gummy substance on pole faces causing binding Remedy: Remove the foreign substance .....
