Description You can save on your electricity bills by switching to alternative sources of power. The photovoltaic module or solar panel described here is capable of delivering a power of 5 watts. At full sunlight, the solar panel outputs 16.5V. It can deliver a current of 300-350 mA. Using it you can charge three types of batteries: lead acid, Ni-Cd and Li-ion. The lead-acid batteries are commonly used in emergency lamps and UPS. The working of the circuit is simple. The output of the solar panel is fed via diode 1N5402 (D1), which acts as a polarity guard and protects the solar panel. An ammeter is connected in series between diode D1 and fuse to measure the current flowing during charging of the batteries. As shown in Fig. 1, we have used an analogue multimeter in 500mA range. Diode D2 is used for protection against reverse polarity in case of wrong connection of the lead-acid battery. Charger circuit diagram: When you connect wrong polarity, the fuse will blow up. For charging a l...

Like we mentioned earlier Kawasaki changed very few things on the KLR250 during its lifespan. The most prominent change was the varying paint and plastic color combinations. When trying to do research for the color combinations for each year of the KLR 250 we had a hard time finding much solid information as it varied from source to source. Wikipedia had a pretty comprehensive list but it didnt seem to match up with other sources. With that said here is our list of the color combos for each year. If you have more information on what we have right or wrong please let us know. -1985 and 1986 Lime Green or White/Blue Thomas Perley Doon's 1985 KLR250 (source) Randy's 1986 KLR250 (source) -1987 White/Blue/Red Tom Bakewell's 1987 KLR250 (source) -1988 to 1989 White/Blue/Green Triston Rynott's 1989 KLR250 (source) -1990 to 1993 White/Light Blue Koop's 1991 KLR250 (source) -1994 to 1996 Teal/Purple -These years were often referred to as the Barbie years because of the odd ...

While connecting field devices to Programmable Logic Controllers we always get confused about sinking and sourcing operations. Also this sinking & sourcing concept is useful to answer PLC interview questions . Sinking and sourcing operations refer to electrical configurations of the circuit in the module & field input devices. When a device provides current when it is ON it is said to be sourcing current . When a device receives current when it is ON it is said to be sinking current. There are both sinking & sourcing field devices as well as sinking & sourcing input module. But it’s a common practice to use input module in sinking current mode. · Field devices on the positive side (+VDC) of the field power supply are sourcing field devices. · Field devices on the negative side (DC COM) of the field power supply are sinking field devices. · ...
This Mini Voltage Source with Adjustable Current Limit variable is very simple and efficient, ideal for small shippers or circuits that require a current limiter with adjustable voltage that this circuit can vary from a few mA up to 2 A and voltage 1.225v up to 12V or more, depending on the power supply. Once the current reaches the limit set by the 100R resistor, transistor BC547 begins to act on the voltage regulator in the Adj pin and the output voltage starts to decrease. If the output is shorted, the output voltage will reduce to almost zero, as a kind of protection.

4.6 Cells and Batteries Key Points 1. An electric cell consists of two electrodes and an electrolyte. 2. Primary cells cannot be recharged, while secondary cells are rechargeable. 3. The zinc-acid cell is not commercially produced because it suffers from polarization and local action. 4. Polarization in cells is the process during which gas bubbles form on an electrode thereby insulating it from the chemical reactions of the cell. 5. Local action is the formation of local cells on the zinc electrode due to iron or lead impurities. 6. The Leclanché cell is the most commonly used wet or dry cell. It consists of a zinc cathode, a carbon anode, sal ammoniac electrolyte and a depolarizer. 7. The dry cell is manufactured in four sizes: D, C, AA and AAA. 8. The mercury cell is constructed small in size for powering small gadgets. It has a very high energy output for its size but due to its high mercury content it has been superseded by silver oxide, zinc air and lithium air cells. 9. ...
This will flash a LED, employing a single 1.5v cell. it's going to even flash a white LED even supposing this kind of LED needs regarding three.2v to 3.6v for operation. The circuit takes regarding 2mA however produces a really bright flash. LED on 1.5v SUPPLY A red LED needs regarding one.7v before it'll begin to illuminate - below this voltage - NOTHING! This circuit takes regarding 12mA to illuminate a red LED employing a single cell, however the fascinating feature is that the approach the LED is illuminated. The 1u electrolytic may be thought of to be a 1v cell.

Opto Coupler Opto coupler is a solid state component in which light emitter the light path and light detector are all enclosed within the component and cannot be altered externally. Usually infrared emitting diode (IRED) can be used as a light emitter. Photo transistor can be used as a light detector. Principle: Here is one way transistor of electrical signal from LED (IRED) to photo transistor without any electrical connection between the input and output circuitry. The degree foe solation between input and output depends on the kind of material used in the light path and on the distance between the light emitter and signal light detector. If the distance between emitter and detector is greater, then the isolation is better but current transfer ratio of detector to emitter current is lower. Working: The fig shows the symbol of Opto coupler. The coupler may be operated as a switch in which cause both the LED and photo transistor are normally OFF. A pulse of current through the LED (IR...
We live in a world that is constantly changing and evolving. We see it every time we buy a new car, a new television, or a new computer. We see it every other month when the iPod is putting out a new an improved model that offers more features, more disk space, and more everything, in a smaller package (well not since they added video but until then, the gadgets were getting smaller while the features were growing exponentially). The truth of the matter is that technology seems to be advancing at a rate that is nearly impossible to keep up with. That being said, you can quite literally drive yourself insane by trying to keep up with the pace of modern technology. What you need to do in order to maintain proper sanity is decide on a level of technology that you are comfortable and confident with and go with it until it is time (by either necessity or desire) to upgrade. You do not have to be the first to purchase the latest and greatest in software and gadgetry (this has become my mantr...

Circuit Enables PCs to Communicate via IrDA Introduction of IRDA The Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) is an industry driven interest group that was founded in 1993 by around 50 companies. IrDA provides specifications for a complete set of protocols for wireless infrared communications and the name "IrDA" also refers to that set of protocols. The main reason for using IrDA had been wireless data transfer over the “last one meter” using point and shoot principles. Thus, it has been implemented in portable devices such as mobile phones, laptops, cameras, printers, medical devices. Main characteristics of this kind of wireless optical communication is physically secure data transfer, Line-of-Sight ( LOS ) and very low bit error rate ( BER ) that makes it very efficient. Abstract: This application note describes a simple circuit allowing a PC to communicate via an IrDA-specified optical data port. The circuit employs only two integrated circuits (ICs), an external infrared...
