Simple 0 30 VDC Stabilized power supply with current control 0 002 3 A

This is a high quality power supply with a continuously variable stabilised output adjustable at any value between 0 and 30VDC. The circuit also incorporates an electronic output current limiter that effectively controls the output current from a few milliamperes (2 mA) to the maximum output of three amperes that the circuit can deliver. This feature makes this power supply indispensable in the experimenters laboratory as it is possible to limit the current to the typical maximum that a circuit under test may require, and power it up then, without any fear that it may be damaged if something goes wrong. There is also a visual indication that the current limiter is in operation so that you can see at a glance that your circuit is exceeding or not its preset limits.    Technical Specifications - Characteristics Input Voltage: ................ 24 VAC Input Current: ................ 3 A (max) Output Voltage: ............. 0-30 V adjustable Output Current: ............. 2 mA...

Simple 50 watt 12 VDC to 220 VAC Power Inverter

This is the Simple 50 watt 12 VDC to 220 VAC Power Inverter. Power inverter (UPS Uninterruptible power supply) is a very useful device which can convert Low voltage from a DC source to high voltage AC. The most common power inverter is 12V to 240V inverter. Perhaps that is because 12V batteries are common. This type of power inverter usually draws current from a DC battery. This battery should be able to provide a high flow of electric current.  Normally lead acid batteries can server this purpose well. This current is then converted to 240V square wave alternative current so that we may empower those electric appliances which work on 240V instead of 12V. Inverter falls in the category of expensive devices so many people don’t buy them even they need them. What if I tell you how to build an inverter (UPS Uninterruptible power supply) yourself?  Iverter circuit diagram Parts.

Simpe 12 VDC Fluorescent Lamp Driver Circuit

A number of people have been unable to find the transformer needed for the Black Light project, so I looked around to see if I could find a fluorescent lamp driver that does not require any special components. I finally found one in Electronics Now. Here it is. It uses a normal 120 to 6V stepdown transformer in reverse to step 12V to about 350V to drive a lamp without the need to warm the filaments. 12 VDC Fluorescent Lamp Driver Circuit Digram Notes Q1 must be installed on a heat sink. A 240V to 10V transformer will work better then the one in the parts list.  The problem is that they are hard to find.This circuit can give a nasty (but not too dangerous) shock. Be careful around the output leads. Parts Part Total Qty.
