Temperature Monitor for Electronic Equipment

Build a Temperature Monitor for Electronic Equipment circuit diagram. As most electronics components’ characteristics vary with temperature, they are selected as per expected operating temperature range of the equipment. So it is important that the equipment stays within the temperature range for which it is designed.

This circuit warns when the temperature reaches predefined danger levels. Here the predefined levels are set to 45°C, 65°C, 85°C and 105°C, but one can set any other temperature levels to suit the equipment in use.Circuit and workingFig. 1 shows the temperature monitoring circuit. It is built around 10k NTC thermistor NTC1, shunt regulator TL431 (IC1), popular comparator LM324 (IC2) and some other components.

Temperature Monitor for Electronic Equipment Circuit Diagram

IC2 activates corresponding LEDs (LED1 through LED4) when the temperature of thermistor NTC1 reaches the predefined level (refer Table I). The temperature is sensed by NTC1 and the produced corresponding voltage at point ‘A’ is fed to inverting terminal of all the four op-amps (A1 through A4). Switch S1 should be closed for this operation. This voltage level is compared with the reference voltage at non-inverting terminals of each op-amp. The reference voltage is obtained by voltage dividers from 2.5V reference source, which is produced using shunt regulator IC1. The reference voltage for each comparator can be set using presets VR1 through VR4.

The switches S2 through S6, together with resistors R2 through R6, are used for calibration purpose. For example, op-amp A4 of IC2 compares the voltage levels at point A (changing with change in temperature) with the reference voltage at its pin 12. The voltage level at pin 12 of A4 is adjusted with preset VR1. Switches S2 through S6 are used to simulate voltage levels corresponding to different temperatures.A4 is tuned for 45°C by keeping switch S3 in closed position and trimming preset VR1 until LED1 glows. S1 should be open during calibration. The same procedure is repeated for comparator A3, A2 and A1 to tune them for 65°C, 85°C and 105°C. Table I shows the presets and LEDs corresponding to each temperature level. After calibration, open switches S2 through S6.

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...
