Ever left a device plugged in overnight, only to realize it’s been sipping power like a lazy vampire? We all have. Even when switched off, many devices still drink up energy, wasting precious electricity and silently adding to the bill. What if there was a smarter way? Well, guess what—there is! Today, we’re building a solid-state power-off timer circuit that not only cuts the load but consumes absolutely no energy when turned off. Why This Circuit is a Game-Changer You see, most circuits out there rely on relays or electromechanical…

Read MoreAC Mains Voltage Indicator Circuit
An AC mains voltage indicator circuit is a very useful device that indicates the different levels of the mains voltage. This circuit utilizes three different LEDs to indicate the different ranges of voltage i.e. Low, Nominal, and High. It is important to know this information when you are working with electrical equipment because it can help you ensure that everything is working properly and that you are not overloading the circuit. Fortunately, you don’t need to be an electrical expert to build an AC mains voltage indicator. In fact, even…
Read MoreHow to Make Relay Switch Circuit
In this tutorial, you will learn how to make your relay switch circuit for Arduino in a few easy steps. We often see many electronics hobbyists especially Arduino users buy expensive relay modules instead of building their own. The general price of the relay module found in the market is about $2 but you can make your own for less than $0.70. In the tutorial Relay Switch circuit for Arduino, you will learn Relay and Operating principle Pin Identification of Relay Component value calculation and choosing the best for your…
Read MoreBlown Fuse Indicator circuit
Blown fuse indicator circuit of the kind described here provides an ideal solution in such case. It indicates whether fuse is good or blown by generating audio alarm and glowing LED. Circuit Description and Working of Blown Fuse Indicator This circuit is based on 555 timer wired as an astable multivibrator. When the fuse is not blown, positive voltage is applied at junction P (IC’s pins 2 and 6) through R2 and D1. This holds the voltage at the junction above 2/3 Vcc and prevents the IC from oscillating. When…
Read MoreTouch Switch Circuit using Transistor
Today, I have come up with another simple but very applicable project ‘Touch Switch Circuit using Transistor’. With this simple project, you can modify your existing electrical/ electronic appliance with a modern touch facility. A few days earlier I bought a reading lamp from one of the Chinese stores, the design of the Chinese product is quite impressive. The thing that motivates me to write this post is touch facilities i.e. you can on and off the lamp by simply touching the touch plate. The circuit posted here used two…
Read MoreAutomatic Fence Lighting with Alarm
Today, in this article we are going to teach you how to make an automatic fence lighting circuit with an alarm using op-amp 741 and timer IC 555. Fence lighting is used for security purposes and can be used at various places like door alarms, pathway alarms, etc. where monitoring is required. Various types of fence lighting circuits are already available over the internet but the problem with that circuits is they required high precision alignment. To overcome this problem, we designed a very sensitive automatic fence lighting circuit. We…
