Explanation of Dynamometer Type Wattmeter

Dynamometer Type Wattmeter

This is also similar in design and principle to the dynamometer type ammeter and voltmeter.

Pic 1

Construction: In the dynamometer type instrument is used as a wattmeter, the fixed coil, which is divided into two equal portions, the fixed coils are connected in series with the load and carry the circuit (or load) current, therefore it is also called as current coil. The moving coils is connected across the load and carries the current proportional to the voltage across the circuit. Therefore, it is known as pressure coil or potential coil.

A high non-inductive resistance ‘R’ is connected in series with the moving coil to limit current through it.

The magnetic field of the fixed and moving coils react on one another causing the moving coil to turn about its axis. The movement of the coil is controlled by hair springs also lead the current into and out of the moving element. Damping torque is provided by the air friction.

Working: When the instrument is connected in the circuit as shown in the below fig. the main circuit current I₁ passes through the current coil and the current, I₂ is proportional to the voltage to be measured passes through the pressure coil. Due to the current in the two coils. Mechanical force exists between them. The result is that the moving coil moves causing that pointer to deflect on a graduated scale. The pointer move till deflecting torque is equal to controlling torque.

The reversal of current through the fixed and moving coils reverses the field due to both the coil hence, the deflecting torque remains unchanged. Therefore these instruments can be used on A.C power measurement.s

Digital Fan Regulator Circuit Diagram

This is the project of Digital Fan Regulator Circuit diagram. The circuit presented here can be used to control the speed of fans using induction motor. The speed control is nonlinear, i.e. in steps. The current step number is displayed on a 7-segment display. Speed can be varied over a wide range because the circuit can alter the voltage applied to the fan motor from 130V to 230V RMS in a maximum of seven steps. The triac used in the final stage is fired at different angles to get different voltage outputs by applying short-dura-tion current pulses at its gate. For this pur-pose a UJT relax-ation oscillator is used that outputs sawtooth waveform. This waveform is coupled to the gate of the triac through an optocoupler (MOC3011) that has a triac driver output stage. Pedestal voltage control is used for varying the firing angle of the triac. The power supply for the relaxation oscillator is derived from the rectified mains via 10-kilo-ohm, 10W series dropping/limit-ing...

Using the SG3525 PWM Controller Explanation and Example Circuit Diagram Schematic of Push Pull Converter

PWM is used in all sorts of power control and converter circuits. Some common examples include motor control, DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters and lamp dimmers. There are numerous PWM controllers available that make the use and application of PWM quite easy. One of the most popular of such controllers is the versatile and ubiquitous SG3525 produced by multiple manufacturers – ST Microelectronics, Fairchild Semiconductors, On Semiconductors, to name a few. SG3525 is used extensively in DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters, home UPS systems, solar inverters, power supplies, battery chargers and numerous other applications. With proper understanding, you can soon start using SG3525 yourself in such applications or any other application really that demands PWM control. Before going on to the description and application, let’s first take a look at the block diagram and the pin layout. Pins 1 (Inverting Input) and 2 (Non Inverting Input) are the inputs to the on-board error amplifier. If you a...

Automatic Intruder Alarm Circuit Diagram

Description: This is a simple single-zone burglar alarm circuit. Its features include automatic Exit and Entry delays and a timed Bell/Siren Cut-Off. It's designed to be used with the usual types of normally-closed input devices such as - magnetic reed contacts - micro switches - foil tape - and PIRs. But it can be Easily Modified to accept normally-open triggering devices - such as pressure mats. Circuit Diagram Notes: It's easy to use. First check that the building is secure and that the green LED is lit. Then move SW1 to the "set" position. The red LED will light. You now have about 30 seconds to leave the building. When you return and open the door - the Buzzer will sound. You then have about 30 seconds to move SW1 to the "off" position. If you fail to do so - the relay will energize and the Siren will sound. While at least one of the switches in the normally-closed loop remains open - the Siren will continue to sound. However, about 15-minutes aft...
