Simple Current Monitor and Alarm
The circuit in Fig. I lights the signal lamp upon detecting a mains current consumption of more than 5 mA, and handles currents of several amperes with appropriate diodes fitted in the D, and D2 positions. Transistor Ti is switched on when the drop across D,-D2 exceeds a certain level. Diodes from the well-known I N400x series can be used for currents of up to I A, while lN540x types are rated for up to 3 A. Fuse F, should, of course, be dimensioned to suit the particular application.
A number of possible transistor types have been stated for use in the Ti position. Should you consider using a type not listed, be sure that it can cope with surges up to 700 V. As long as Ti does not con- duct, the gate of the triac is at mains potential via C,, protective resistor R2 and diode Da, which keeps C, charged. When Ti conducts, alternating current can flow through the capacitor, and the triac is triggered, so that Lai lights.
The circuit in Fig. 2 is a current triggered alarm. Rectifier bridge D4-D7 can only provide the coil voltage for Re, when the current through Di-D2 exceeds a certain level, because then series capacitor C, passes the alternating mains current. Capacitor C, may need to be dimensioned otherwise than shown to suit the sensitivity of the relay coil. This is readily effected by connecting capacitors in parallel until the coil voltage is high enough for the relay to operate reliably.
Finally, an important point: Many points in these circuits are at mains potential and therefore extremely dangerous to touch.

Simple Solid State Relay Circuit SSR
Circuit functioning of this SSR circuit is as follows:
lt is true that triacs are not A too bad in this respect, but they do not like low temperatures: they just stop working! This is caused by the fact that triacs require a higher gate current at low temperature. Triacs are often triggered by opto-couplers which are not capable of supplying these higher currents. The circuit described, in contrast to normal .triac triggers, contains an amplifier which ensures sufficient gate current under all temperature conditions; The amplifier is formed by transistor T1, which raises the signal from the opto-coupler to more than adequate level. The use of capacitor C2 as a dropping reactance ensures that the dissipation in the drive circuit is virtually nil; it also prevents the circuit presenting a dc load to the mains supply. The switch on current surge is limited to a safe value by resistor R3. As the drive circuit is supplied directly from the mains, the mains voltage must, of course, be reduced to an acceptable level. This voltage is therefore rectified by D1 and smoothed by C1. Zener diode D2 stabilizes the supply to the circuit to 15 V. As soon as transistor T1 conducts, capacitor C1 discharges via T1 and the triac gate, provides a gate current of about 40 mA. The discharge time, and consequently the trigger pulse, is not greater than 1 millisecond. RC network R4/C3 protects the triac against high voltage peaks.
Siemens application.

Simple Light Activated Switch Using IC555
It is particularly well suited to control outside lighting as used for driveways and garage entrances: Contrary to its normal use as an astable or monostable multivibrator, the Type 555 IC in this circuit functions as a comparator. To explain this rather I unusual application, it is necessarily to note that the operation of a 555 is normally as ( follows: the output goes high 1 upon receipt of a trigger (start) pulse on input pin 2. This pulse is a voltage whose level is lower than of the supply voltage. The output goes low again when the voltage at the second input, pin 6, has briefly exceeded of the supply level.
In the present design, the second input is not used, but the output of the chip can none the less revert to the low state, since pin 6 is connected direct to the positive supply rail. This setup is accounted for by the accompanying Table, taken from the 555’s data sheets. In principle, the supply voltage for the circuit must equal the coil voltage of the relay. Do not / t apply more than 16 M however as this may damage the 555. The current consumption of the circuit is 4mA, exclusive of the relay at a supply level of 12 V Components R2 and C1 ensure a delay of about l0s before the relay is energized, so that the circuit is rendered insensitive to rapid changes in the light intensity Basically the circuit has no hysteresis effect. However, when the supply is not regulated, the actuation of the relay y will lower the supply level somewhat. This lowers the internal threshold of the IC, since the trigger point is defined as of the supply level (pin 2).
Therefore, the hysteresis of the circuit can be dimensioned as required by fitting a resistor in series with the supply. It is also possible to tit a resistor between pins 5 and 7 of { the 555, as shown in the circuit diagram. The amount of hysteresis is inversely proportional to l the value of the resistor, and 100K is a reasonable starting point for experiments. The sensitivity of the trigger circuit can be controlled if R1 is replaced with a 1M potentiometer or preset.

Simple Capacitive Switch Circuit Using IC 555
By changing the existing frequency of the signal the average integrated value remains the same but, at the instant when the frequency is changed, a positive or negative voltage peak will appear due to the momentary change in the average waveform of the signal. This is the principle upon which our switch is based. The 555 or 7555 timers will oscillate in a stable manner. However, if we add an external capacitive sensor it becomes possible to vary the oscillation frequency. ln this circuit the square wave is integrated by the triple RC network, while IC2, used as a comparator (with a variable reference value), uses the changes in the integrated voltage to alternately make and break the relay.

Thus when you e move close to C the relay makes; if you remain stationary the relay breaks. It may seem a blt basic but it is a valid idea and it is worth l looking at it in greater detail. To obtain better results you could take the signal after integration and differentiate between negative pulses (the frequency decreases as the value of C increases: when the sensor is approached) and positive pulses (the frequency increases again if the sensor is no longer affected) and compare them. Without this l refinement the size of the sensitive plate must be such that the frequency of oscillation be at least several kHz. Failing this the operation of the circuit would often be disrupted by false detections. Coarse and fine adjustment is provided, using P1 and P2, to reduce the risk of incorrect switching. Note: The numbers in parentheses are the pins if an LM3l1 is used in place of the CA3130
Simple Flasher Circuit Using Unijunction Transistor
In this flasher circuit unijunction transistor G1 is used as a relaxation oscillator supplying a continuous train of pulses to the gates of the SCRs. Assume that SCR2 has been triggered into conduction and that lamp 2 is energized. The next trigger pulse from O1 triggers SCR1, this discharges C2 and the resultant commutation pulse turns off SCR2. The resistor R2 in the anode of SCR1 is of a value high enough to prevent SCR1 from latching on. SCR2 is re-triggered by the next triggering pulse from O1. Using the component values shown, the flash rate of this circuit is adjustable by R2 from 35 to 150 flashes a minute.

How to Make a Simple Solar Tracker Circuit Dual Axis
The present interest in solar energy is therefore not surprising. Some work has already been done with solar cells and solar panels. However, these only operate with optimum performance when positioned exactly at right- angles to the sun. Unfortunately, this situation is not usual in our latitudes unless the solar panels are rotated with respect to the sun. The efficiency of a solar panel system can be improved if the panels track the sun, and remain as long as possible at the most favorable angle of incidence. The circuitry required is relatively simple. lt uses a window comparator which keeps the drive motor idle, as long as the two LDrs are subjected to the same illumination. Half the operating voltage is then applied to the non-inverting input of A1 and to the inverting input of A2. When the position of the sun changes, the illumination affecting LDRs R1 and 1 R2 is different, if they are at an angle to each other as shown in figure 2. In this case, the input voltage for the window comparator deviates from half the supply voltage, so that the output of the comparator provides information to the motor for clockwise or anticlockwise rotation.
Transistors T1 . . . T4 in a bridge circuit cater for reversing of I the motor. Diodes D1 . . . D4 serve I to suppress voltage peaks which can 1 be produced when the motor is switched. Preset potentiometers P1 and P2 are used for alignment. They are adjusted so that the motor is idle when the LDRs are subjected to the same illumination. if less light reaches LDR R2 than LDR R1 , the voltage at point A rises to more than half the supply voltage. The result is that the output of A1 goes high and transistors T1 and T4 conduct. The motor then runs. if the illumination of the LDRs is then changed so that the voltage at point A drops to less than half the supply voltage, output A2 goes high T and transistors T3 and T2 must conduct. The motor them rotates in the opposite direction. Small geared motors of the type used for models, with a suitable voltage and maximum operating current of 300 mA, are suitable for driving the solar panels. The use of this control circuit makes it possible to control the solar panel in one plane. Of course, in order to track the sun from sunrise to sun- down, two control circuits will be required: one for horizontal and one for vertical tracking.


Simple Variable Voltage Current Power Supply Circuit Using a Single FET
- For many applications the requirements are not that stringent and a simple, discretely constructed regulator as described here will suffice.
- The current limiting components can then be left out.
- With values as shown, the output I voltage is 12V and the output current is limited to 0.5 A. For applications not requiring current limiting the circuit can supply up to 1 A.
- The relation between input voltage, load resistance and regulated output voltage is shown in table 1.
- This table can therefore be used to determine whether the regulation for a particular application is sufficient. The ’heart’ of the regulator, high power low-frequency transistor T1, l must be fitted onto an adequate heatsink. FET T3 operates as a current source with an output 3, maximum of 11 . . . 18 mA: this it limits the base current of T1, of course, but the alternative would have been a very low value resistor; ‘ or this would have resulted in large!
- The cost of high grade, regulated power supplies has dropped with the advent of modern lCs.

Note: The TIP33C and TIP34C have been discontinued and are generally not available anywhere. A wide range of power transistors will work, but they should be rated for at least 100V, 8A, and 80W power dissipation. Safe area operating curves and good thermal dissipation data are rarely available, so its a guessing game. The more expensive TO-3 package parts, such as the MJ15003 & MJ15004 will certainly be more than sufficient for replacing the TIP33C & TIP34C. The only really compelling reason to use the TIP33C & TIP34C are because they cost less and come in a TO-218 package, which requires only one mounting hole.

Testing
If any of these tests fail, the amp is not constructed properly... the easiest and best way to find the problem is visual inspection.- Turn variable resistor fully counterclockwise (max resistance)
- Connect to +/- 24 volt supply with 200mA current limit. No input and no output connected. Monitor current from power supply with a current meter.
- Apply power... if current is above about 25 mA, shut off immediately!
- Measure voltage across the 1k resistor connected to the input stage and Vcc. The DC voltage should be about 2 volt, or 2 mA of current through this resistor. Eg, if Vcc is at 24 volts, the side of this resistor connected to the 2N5210 transisor ought to be at about 22 volts.
- Measure the DC voltage on the output line. It should be appox zero volts. -0.2 volts is probably fine.
- Turn the variable resistor slowly until the amplifers current consumption is approx 50 mA. Turn slowly and be careful... if you turn too far you could damage the output transistors.
- Conect an oscilloscope to the output and apply a low amplitude 20 kHz square wave to the input. DO NOT connect any speakers during this test. This test should be done without the 330 pF capacitor installed. The amp should output a 20 kHz square wave with very little "ringing". It should not oscillate.
- Solder the 330 pF capacitor into the circuit.
- Shut off the power, connect audio input and a speaker. Make sure the volume is turned all the way down. Apply power... watch current meter again and shut off the power immediately if the current jumps to something much higher than 50 mA.
- Slowly turn up the volume and see if the amp works. DO NOT turn it up very much... the amplifier should not be operated with a supply less than +/- 30 volts. It should never be used for high volume output without a power supply rated for at least 2 amps of current (8 ohm load). After this initial test with +/- 24V at 200 mA (current limited) only a proper power supply should be used which can provide enough current.
