How to Build Unregulated Linear Power Supply

Image
Unregulated power supplies contain four basic components: transformer, rectifier, filter capacitor, and a bleeder resistor. This type of power supply, because of Us simpticity, is the least costly and most reliable for low power requirements. The disadvantage is that the output voltage is not constant It will vary with the input voltage and the load current, and the ripple is not suitable for electronic applications. The ripple can be reduced by changing the filter capacitor to an LC (inductor-capacitor) filter but the cost to make this change would make use of the regulated linear power supply a more economical choice.

How to Test a diode

Image
Hello Everyone ... Today i am going to show you how we test a diode using a digital multimeter.In this article, we will go over different tests that we can use to check whether a diode is good or not, all by utilizing the functions of a digital multimeter. There are many checks we can do to see if a diode is functioning the way it should. We will use and exploit the characteristics and behaviors that a diode should show if it is good and, in thus doing so, determine whether is good or defective.So let's start ... Test of a diode with the ohmmeter of a multimeter :   A very good test you can do is to check a diode with your multimeter set to the ohmmeter setting. This is a simple test we can do to check whether it is good, open, or shorted. So we take the ohmmeter and place it across the leads of the diode. The orientation is very important. Anode-Cathode Diode Resistance Test   We first take the ohmmeter and place the positive probe on the anode of the diode (the black part of...

How to Create 1000 Watt Power Amplifier

Image
Power amplifier has up to 1000 Watt power, this circuit made one channel only so if you want to create a stereo in it must be made one again, actually this is more suitable power amplifier in use for Sound System or outdoor, so if only in use for the house I think is less suitable. Maybe you've seen or even have an active speaker and there is written 1500 watts PMPO (Peak Music Power Output), make no mistake this is different from Power Amplifier Active Speaker, I often dismantle such Active Speaker in it only a power with power no more than 150 watts by using the transformer 2-3 Ampere. PMPO is not a real power which is issued by the Power Amplifier, but counting all the speakers that there is, for example: if there are 5 pieces of speakers on each channel and each speaker has a power of 10 W then it is 100 W PMPO. 1000W Power Amplifier schematics Part List 1000W amplifier While this 1000 Watt Power Amplifier minimal use transformer 20 Ampere. And the output of Power Amplifier D...

How to Installation A Car Stereo

Car Stereo Installation Guide - Want to save some money? Ever wonder if you could do a car stereo installation yourself? Yes, you can do it yourself! Go ahead, spend that money on your hardware! Don’t spend it on labor. Besides, doing a car stereo installation yourself can be a very rewarding experience, not to mention you can learn a lot from it too. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your “creation” in action, running smoothly and perfectly. But be very careful, you really won’t want to damage your expensive hardware. Well, most car audio hardware are no-brainers to install, you’d find that most of the time the parts have specially shaped sockets and slots etc. and would only fit where it’s supposed to be installed. Still, it’s best to proceed methodically. In a car stereo installation, you have to determine what kind of rig you’re going to put into your vehicle. If you’re a beginner, it’s best you do a car stereo installation if it’s just a simple system. You may want to leave ...

How to Make a Dual Tone Siren Circuit

Image
This electronic siren gives out a continuously varying high amplitude sound. Since the supply voltage is not critical, it can be used in cars, motor cycles or at home. It can replace the ordinary call bell. - . The circuit consists of two separate free running multivibrator and an oscillator. More innovative circuits HERE. A free running or astable multivibrator is one which has two quasi-stable states and the output of one stag is connected to the input of the other through a coupling capacitor.Since both the states are quasi-stable, the output attained is continuously varying in nature i.e. high, low high low-.  The output is in the form low pulses, the frequency of which depends on the base biasing resistor and the coupling capacitor, When these resistances and condensers for both the stages are of different values, the output ` wave form is rectangular; this is because the time constant of the two quasi-stable states becomes different. If this time constant of the two, states i...

How to Build a Shake Tic Tac LED Torch

Image
In the diagram, it looks like the coils sit on the “table” while the magnet has its edge on the table. This is just a diagram to show how the parts are connected. The coils actually sit flat against the slide (against the side of the magnet) as shown in the diagram: Shake Tic Tac LED Torch Circuit Diagram The output voltage depends on how quickly the magnet passes from one end of the slide to the other. That's why a rapid shaking produces a higher voltage. You must get the end of the magnet to fully pass though the coil so the voltage will be a maximum. That’s why the slide extends past the coils at the top and bottom of the diagram. The circuit consists of two 600-turn coils in series, driving a voltage doubler. Each coil produces a positive and negative pulse, each time the magnet passes from one end of the slide to the other. The positive pulse charges the top electrolytic via the top diode and the negative pulse charges the lower electrolytic, via the lower diode. The voltage a...

HOW PLC SCAN CYCLE WORKS

Image
HOW PLC SCAN CYCLE WORKS? Hi Friends … Greetings , Today want to share with you how PLC actually works. PLC’s work on the principal on SCAN CYCLE. Lets find out how PLC Work? It works in Following Stages. STAGE 1.Regenerate input signal   Before the execution of the program, PLC reads the On/Off status of the external input signals into the input signal memory at a time.    The On/Off status of the input signal during the execution of the program will not change the signal status in the input signal memory. The new On/Off status will be read in the next scan.   There will be approximately a 10ms delay from the On→Off or Off→On changes to the status being recognized by the contact in the program. The delay time may be affected by the scan time in the program. STAGE 2.Program processing After the PLC reads the On/Off status of every input signal in the input signal memory, it will start to execute every instruction in the program in order starting from address 0. The e...

How to Build AC Line Current Detector

Image
This circuit will detect AC line currents of about 250 mA or more without making any electrical connections to the line. Current is detected by passing one of the AC lines through an inductive pickup (L1) made with a 1 inch diameter U-bolt wound with 800 turns of #30 - #35 magnet wire. The pickup could be made from other iron type rings or transformer cores that allows enough space to pass one of the AC lines through the center.  Only one of the current carrying lines, either the line or the neutral should be put through the center of the pickup to avoid the fields cancelling. I tested the circuit using a 2 wire extension cord which I had separated the twin wires a small distance with an exacto knife to allow the U-bolt to encircle only one wire. AC Line Current Detector Circuit Diagram The magnetic pickup (U-bolt) produces about 4 millivolts peak for a AC line current of 250 mA, or AC load of around 30 watts. The signal from the pickup is raised about 200 times at the output of th...

Maximum power transfer

Image
In DC circuits this theorem state that the source can transfer maximum power when the total resistance viewed from the load is equal to the value of the resistance of that load.  Applications of Maximum Power Transfer In communication system, maximum power transfer is always sought. For example in public address system, the circuit is adjusted for maximum power transfer by making load resistance (speaker) equal to the source resistance (amplifier). When source and load have the same resistance, they are said to be matched. In car engines, the power delivered to the starter motor of the car will depend upon the effective resistance of the motor and the internal resistance of the battery. If the two resistances are equal, maximum power will be transferred to the motor to turn to the engine.   Proof of Maximum Power Transfer At this point the simple circuit is can be a resemblance of a Thevinin's Circuit diagram where the internal resistance Ri similar to the Theveni...

How to Build 1 2 30V 1 5A Variable Regulated Power supply Circuit

Image
How to Build 1.2-30V/1.5A Variable Regulated Power supply, This is simple 1.2-30V/1.5A variable regulated power supply circuit diagram The 110V-AC coming from the powercord is fed to the transformer TR1 via the on-off switch and the 500mA fuse. The 30vac output (approximately) from the transformer is presented to the BR1, the bridge-rectifier, and here rectified from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current). If you don't want to spend the money for a Bridge Rectifier, you can easily use four general purpose 1N4004 diodes. The pulsating DC output is filtered via the 2200µF capacitor (to make it more manageable for the regulator) and fed to 'IN'-put of the adjustable LM317 regulator (IC1). The output of this regulator is your adjustable voltage of 1.2 to 30volts varied via the 'Adj' pin and the 5K potmeter P1. The large value of C1 makes for a good, low ripple output voltage.  1.2-30V/1.5A Variable Regulated Power supply Circuit Diagram Why exactly 1.2V and not...
