The following post discusses the wiring connections for driving a DC motor in clockwise and anticlockwise directions with the help of a single toggle switch and a relay circuit. The idea was requested by one the interested followers of this blog. I have explained more: Technical Specifications We have our project in school. Our professor […]

How to Control Motor with a Cell Phone
In the following post I have explained a very simple circuit idea which can be used for controlling a motor’s rotational direction i.e. for moving it either clockwise or anticlockwise through alternate miss calls from your cell phone. The Circuit Concept I have already discussed a novel cell phone controlled remote switch circuit where the […]
Adding a Soft Start to Water Pump Motors – Reducing Relay Burning Problems
In this post I have explained a few innovating and simple soft start circuit examples which may be implemented with heavy duty motors so that they are able to initiate with a soft start or a slow sluggish start instead of a sudden, bumpy start Why Soft Start is Crucial for Heavy Motors When heavy […]
Motor Protection Circuits – Over Voltage, Over Heat, Over Current
In this post I have explained a few DC motor protection circuit from harmful conditions like over voltage and under voltage situations, over current, overload etc.. DC motor failures are commonly experienced by many of the users, especially in places where the relevant motor is run for many hours a day. Replacing motor parts or […]
AC Motor Speed Controller Circuits using Back EMF
In this post I have explained a few circuit diagrams for building AC motor speed controller circuits using back EMF concept. Working Principle of AC Motors All household appliances like electric drills, sanders, sewing machines, and food mixers utilize AC electric motors of the series-wound type. While in operation, these motors generate a back-electromotive force […]
2-Pin Motorcycle Turn Signal Flasher Indicator Circuit with Buzzer
A simple construction procedure of a motorcycle electronic 2 pin turn signal indicator with beeper circuit has been thoroughly I have explained in this article. Normally, the electro-mechanical types of turn signal indicators are not reliable due to low consistency and vulnerability to changing weather conditions. The present design easily withstands the above parameters and […]
