Multiple appliances have been born to ease human efforts. And in the same run, numerous protective circuits are designed to ensure a long lifespan of those devices. We have seen those circuits claiming to protect appliances like refrigerators and air-conditioners from voltage fluctuations and brown-outs. An overvoltage protection circuit has been presented here serving multi-purpose security; under-voltage protection, switch-on delay, and regulation. Description of Overvoltage Protection Circuit Do not get worried with the overvoltage protection circuit diagram, though it looks complex, the circuit comprises building blocks we have been familiar…
