Project of 12 V AC Dimmer Circuit Diagram

This is a simple Project of 12 V AC Dimmer Circuit Diagram. 12-V AC Dimmer Circuit Diagram The circuit described here is derived from a conventional design for a simple lamp dimmer, as you can see if you imagine a diac connected between points A and B. The difference between this circuit and a normal diac circuit is that a diac circuit won’t work at 12 V. This is the fault of the diac. Most diacs have a trigger voltage in the range of 30 to 40V, so they can’t work at 12 V, which means the dimmer also can’t work. 12-V AC Dimmer Circuit Diagram The portion of the circuit between points A and B acts like a diac with a trigger voltage of approximately 5.5 V. The network formed by R1, P1 and C1 generates a phase shift relative to the supply voltage. The ‘diac equivalent’ circuit outputs a phase-shifted trigger pulse to the triac on each positive and negative half-cycle of the sinusoidal AC voltage. This works as follows. First consider the positive half of the sine wave. C1 charges when the...

Simple 110 and 220V AC LED Voltage Indicator

This circuit, designed on request, has proven to be useful to indicate when the voltage in a power supply line is changing from 120V to 240Vac. It can be used in different circumstances and circuits, mainly when an increase in ac or dc supply voltage needs to be detected. D3 illuminates when the line voltage is approaching 120V and will remain in the on state also at 240V supply. On the other hand, D6 will illuminate only when the line voltage is about 240V and will stay on because the latching action of Q1, Q2 and related components. C1, D1 and D2 provide a low dc voltage in the 4.5V - 6V range in order to allow proper operation of latch circuit and LEDs.

230 V AC To 400 V DC Power Supply

 230 V AC To 400 V DC Power Supply Circuit Diagram:   Description : A lot of students are who don't know how to convert 230 volt AC to 400 DC. So today i am published  ' 230 V AC to 400 V DC circuit diagram ' on my blog. Working principle of this circuit diagram is very simple. You already knew the working principle of a bridge rectifier. This circuit is same as bridge rectifier and the working principle is also same. The fuse is used to protect the circuit, if the current is greater than 1 A. Parts List Component No: Value F1 1 A B1 IN4007  C1 470MF/450V  V1 230 V AC 

AC Mains Bistable Switch

This AC mains-operated bistable  switch turns on or turns off a  device using a miniature neon  lamp and a few discrete components.  This switch can be used for control pan-els, appliances and lighting controls.  A push-to-on switch is used to  light up the neon lamp. The light emit-ted by the neon lamp, in turn, enables  the switching action of the circuit. Use  of a 555 timer wired for bistable operation makes the circuit act as a bistable  switch. Circuit diagram : AC Mains Bistable Switch Circuit Diagram   The neon lamp (NL1) and the  push-to-on switch (S1) are directly connected to 230V AC mains. The 12V DC  supply for timer 555 (IC1) is derived  from 230V AC mains through capacitive dropper C1, resistor R1 and a 12V  zener diode. IC1 works as a flip-flop  circuit, with the signal at its output  pin 3 toggling every time it receives a  pulse at its pins 2 and 6.  The operation of the circuit ...

Automatic AC Power Switch

Electrical appliances accidentally left on  in (holiday) homes left unoccupied for a  short or a long period consume power  unnecessarily and can present a fire hazard. Everyone will be familiar with those  nagging thoughts, a few miles down the  road from the house: “Did I remember  to switch off the coffee machine? The  lights? The oven?”  Automatic AC Power Switch Circuit Diagram Hotel rooms are often equipped with a  switch near the main door which enables the power supply to everything in  the room only when the plastic card (which  might contain a chip or have a magnetic strip  or a pattern of holes) that serves as the room  key is inserted. The circuit idea given here  to switch off lights and other appliances is  along the same lines. The solution is surprisingly simple.  A reed contact is fitted to the frame of the main entrance door, and a matching magnet  is attached to the door itself such t...
