In this article I have explained the formula and techniques of configuring RC circuit networks for controlling the arcing across relay contacts while switching heavy inductive loads. Arc suppression An arc is produced across the contacts when a switch or a relay is opened. With time, this condition can wear down the contacts. To overcome […]

Precision Current Sensing and Monitoring Circuit using IC NCS21xR
If you are looking for current shunt monitors or current sense amplifiers then you have landed at the right page. Current shunt monitor is an instrumentation amplifier which senses the current across a shunt resistor in a system, and converts it into a logical signal output for triggering a switching device such a relay, transistor […]
Using MOSFET Body Diodes to Charge Battery in Inverters
In this post I have explained how the internal body diodes of MOSFETs could be exploited for enabling the charging of battery through the same transformer which is being used as the inverter transformer. In this article we will investigate a full bridge inverter concept and learn how the in-built diodes of its 4 MOSFETs […]

Simple Line Follower Robot Circuit using LM324
In this article I have explained a simple line follower robot circuit, also known as line tracker vehicle, using just a couple of op amps from the IC LM324 and a few other components, without using complex Arduino or microcontrollers. What is a Line Follower Robot Vehicle A line follower robot vehicle is a form […]
50 Watt Sine Wave UPS Circuit
The UPS detailed in this article can provide a power output of 50 watts consistently, at 110 volts with a frequency of 60 Hz. The output is fundamentally a sine wave that behaves exactly like standard mains home AC power for the load. An integrated power supply works like a battery charger. Even though the […]
