As shown in the figure, the controller is composed of the water level controller, trigger controller, and buck rectifier circuit. The water level detecting electrodes a , b , c, and W1 , R1 , R2, and R3 form a bias circuit which can be used as a liquid level detector. When the water surface is below b, VP -b ≈ R3 x VDD / ( RW1 + R1 + R2 + R3 ) < 1/3VDD, 555 is set, SCR is triggered and turned on, then the motor runs for pumping. When the water level raises to a, Vp - a ≈ R3 x VDD / ( Rw1 ten R3 ) > 2/3VDD, then 555 resets, pin 3 is in low level. SCR is turned off, the motor stops because of no electricity, and then the circuit runs in the cycle to maintain the water level in a certain range.   (View)

Medium Power 12v Brush Motor Speed Controller July 13, 2008

Published:2012/9/9 20:37:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Medium Power, 12v, Brush Motor, Speed Controller

In many applications, you would like to hold the speed of a motor constant, even as variations in the power supply voltage or mechanical load try to change its speed. In other applications, the average current to the motor needs to be limited, so the initial in-rush current when starting the motor is not too high. Also in some applications you would like to allow the motor to be in locked in a stall condition, without doing harm to the motor or the drive circuit. These two features can often be combined in a single control circuit. Source: discovercircuits   (View)

SOLAR POWERED PUMP MOTOR CONTROLLER

Published:2012/9/9 20:35:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: SOLAR, POWERED , PUMP , MOTOR CONTROLLER

A Discover Circuits visitor had a problem. He needed a simple on/off controller for his solar powered water pump. His system used two 12v 50 watt solar panels wired in series. The power from the solar panels drove a submerged water pump. However, during overcast skies the pump motor did not operate properly due to the lack of power from the panel. He wanted a circuit which would turn off power to the motor during low sun conditions. The circuit below performs this function. A small 0.1? x 0.1? photodiode monitors the sunlight intensity. The current from the diode is proportional to sunlight intensity. An adjustable load resistor across the diode converts the current into a voltage and feeds the to a voltage comparator circuit. The output of the comparator drives a small n-channel MOSFET, which in turn drives a high current p-channel MOSFET, controlling power to the pump motor. When the sunlight is less than one fourth of full intensity, power to the motor is turned off. Source: discovercircuits   (View)

Electrodeless Water Level Monitor

Published:2012/9/6 20:49:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Electrodeless, Water Level, Monitor

This system operates much like a classic float switch but without any moving parts. The illustration shows how a system using two copper coils sealed inside a plastic pipe, can detect the level of water outside the pipe. Whenever the water level is lower than the upper coil, no signal is coupled between the coils. Once calibrated, this technique might also work on the outside of a plastic water tank.

Pot Controlled Variable LED Intensity Circuit -- September 24, 2009

Published:2012/9/6 20:09:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Pot Controlled, Variable LED Intensity

The circuit below uses power from four rechargeable AA NiMH cells to drive 3 white LEDs. A potentiometer varies the duty cycle of a pulse width modulator circuit to vary the intensity of the LEDs from 0% to 100%. The beauty of the circuit is that when the pot is all the way toward 0%, very little power is drawn from the battery. Likewise, when the pot slider is moved toward the 100% end, full power is fed to the LEDs. In effect, the pot becomes the on/off switch. Source: discovercircuits   (View)

AC Line Under/Over Voltage Alarm (March 29, 2009)

Published:2012/9/5 20:51:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: AC Line , Under/Over Voltage, Alarm

Power lines, which deviate much beyond normal voltages can damage expensive electronic equipment. The circuit below sounds an alarm whenever the line voltage is higher or lower than normal. I set the alarm limits at about +-15% from standard levels. The circuit rectifies and filters the power line signal. I set the resistor values, so the DC voltage produced is close to 1% of the RMS value of the line. Thus, a 120vac line would yield about 1.2v DC. That voltage is fed to a pair of voltage comparators.
