The project posted here is a 3000W inverter with the facility like an inbuilt charger, over and under voltage control, temperature control, microcontroller-based, etc. We all know that an inverter is a device that changes DC power into AC power (just opposite of a rectifier). The general-purpose inverter (low or medium power inverter) used in our house converts 12V DC voltage to 220V AC. But the circuit posted here converts 24V DC (two 12V batteries connected in series) to 220V AC. Circuit Description of Microcontroller Based 3000W Inverter with inbuilt…

Opto Reflective Sensor using 555
The DIY project posted here is of Opto Reflective Sensor using 555 IC and TCRT5000 module. These sensors are photoelectric sensors, which signifies that they rely on photo or light and do not need to be in contact with any other objects to sense. When a beam of light between the reflector and light sensor is interfered, that is when the sensor sends electrical signals. These electrical alerts are the information to the output unit. These days opto reflective sensor is used in various projects like proximity sensing, position detector,…
Read MoreATmega8 Based Restaurant Menu Ordering System
We often visit to restaurant for food and drink, there we see a waiter came and ask for order. The most annoying part is waiter wait while we are choosing items for menu. At the time of pick hour customer increase, requires more manpower and as a result the situation becomes annoying and expensive too. In order to solve these problem, here we had design a simple automation system called restaurant menu ordering system based on 8-bit microcontroller ATmega8. Different concept of digital menu ordering system has flourished along with…
Read More4-line to 16-line decoder Circuit using 7442
Decoders are essentially an arrangement of logic elements that are combined to change from are digital code to another. The term ‘decoder’ is most frequently used but depending on the point of view, the term ‘encoder’ is equally correct. Figure 1 shows the circuit diagram of a 4-bit, 4-line to 16-line decoder using two 7422 4-line to 10-line decoder IC . The input A, B, C and D can represent any logic function and the output 1 through 16 will then provide the addition or the logic or function of…
Read MoreSolder Fumes Extractor Circuit
Solder Fumes Extractor Circuit: Soldering in electronics is analogous to fixing a component using glue. It is a general phenomenon in the field of electronics that involves fixing electronic components into a special board called PCB with the help of instruments like soldering iron and electrical solder commonly called ‘Solder wire’. While soldering we all face the problem of toxic fumes. These fumes are of lead solder wire and flux. Combinedly, these fumes are highly toxic if an excess amount is inhaled. To solve this problem, here we designed a…

Read More10-Watt Audio Amplifier
The Driver Amplifier amplifies the weak electrical signal from the microphone and makes it suitable for power amplification. Thus, an amplifier that is used before a power amplifier is called a driver amplifier. As all amplifier driver amplifier is also a cascade amplifier. Thus, by cascading multiple amplifier stages a project 10-Watt Audio Amplifier is built. Circuit Description of 10-Watt Audio Amplifier The project shown in figure 1 is of 10-Watt Audio Amplifier, which is basically a combination of various amplifiers i.e. pre-amplifier, driver amplifier, and a push-pull amplifier. Here…
Read More12V DC Ballast Circuit
The project “12V DC Ballast” using power transistor 2N3055 is used to glow AC tube light using a DC source. The circuit of DC ballast is a DC-to-AC converter. DC ballast of various capacities (in watts) is already available in markets. The circuit posted here is of 20W capacity i.e. (it can drive a load up to 20 watts). Previously, we had posted Electronic Blast for Tube-light which drives load up to 40W, double the power of 12V DC Blast. Circuit Description of 12V DC Ballast The circuit of 12V DC…
Read MoreDigital AC/DC Voltage cum Continuity Tester
The project “Digital AC/DC Voltage cum Continuity tester” can be used to test 25 Volts to 500 volts AC/DC voltage continuity and open-circuit condition by displaying on the 7-segment display. There is the various advantage of “Digital AC/DC Voltage cum Continuity tester” over multimeter are Small Size, low cost, easy operation and requires no troublesome selector switch to select testing mode. To make a selector switch free circuit, we had used 82K impedance for DC and 220K impedance for AC. The testing procedure is very simple all you have to…
