Industrial VS Commercial VS Residential Electrical Installation

Hey, in this article we are going to see the comparison between Industrial, Commercial, and Residential Electrical installation. We will make compare with respect to types, procedure, cost, safety, equipment, and many other essential factors. First of all, let's know what is electrical installation. Electrical installation is a procedure to install electrical circuits, wirings, equipment, and machines. The electrical installation can be divided into three major parts - 1. Installing of electrical equipment or device or machine 2. Make electrical connection or wiring for them 3. Provide them proper voltage and power to operate them. These different types of electrical installation required different types of electricians and management. For example, commercial electrical installation requires commercial electricians, industrial electrical installation requires industrial electricians, and residential electrical installation requires residential electricians. We already published an ...

What is the Joule Thief Circuit and how does it work

A joule thief is a compact, low-cost, and easy-to-build self-oscillating voltage booster that is often used to drive small loads(3.3v 5mm LED). Other names for this circuit include blocking oscillator, joule ringer, and vampire torch. The circuit is a blocking oscillator variation that functions as an unregulated voltage boost converter. The output voltage is increased at the price of a larger input current draw, but the output integrated (average) current is reduced and the luminescence brightness is reduced. This joule thief Circuit uses a 1.2 V or 1.5 V single-cell electric battery to power LEDs. However, as the supply voltage reaches 3V, the LED begins to light.

Joule Thief Circuit

The joule thief circuit operates on a fairly basic basis. It operates by quickly switching the transistor.

When the transistor is first switched off, a tiny amount of current flows via the resistor, primary winding, and base-emitter junction, assisting in the opening of the collector-emitter channel.

The current can now pass via the feedback winding and the transistor's collector-emitter channel. The growing current via the feedback winding creates a magnetic field, which induces more current in the main winding. The generated current in the main winding flows into the transistor's base, widening the collector-emitter channel even further. This allows greater current to flow via the feedback winding, which is the transistor's collector-emitter channel.

As a result, these operations are repeated in a feedback loop until the transistor's base is saturated and the collector-emitter channel is completely open. The current flowing between the feedback coil and the transistor is now at its peak. The magnetic field of the feedback winding generates a lot of energy.

When the transistor is switched ON, the current in the feedback winding no longer grows, and it no longer induces a current in the primary winding. As a result, less current flows through the transistor's base, and the transistor's collector-emitter channel begins to shut. As a result, less current flows through the feedback winding.

A decrease in current in the feedback winding causes a decrease in current in the primary winding. This causes considerably less current to pass through the transistor's base. Thus, in a feedback loop, these operations are repeated until nearly no current flows through the transistor. The voltage at the coil's output is caused by a portion of the energy stored in the magnetic field of the feedback winding.

Because the produced current cannot pass through the transistor, it must pass through the load (often an LED) and be dissipated. When the energy is dissipated by the load, the circuit is essentially reset and the process begins again. This process occurs 50,000 times per second in a Joule Thief circuit.

What is an electric fuse | Fuse resistance | Functions

To avoid a short circuit or device failure, an electrical fuse is a low melting point copper or other metal wire that breaks due to heat-induced by Overcurrent or excessive load. The flow of electric current warms up the items through which it passes. Electric water heaters, light bulbs, and irons are just a few examples of electric gadgets that make use of this phenomenon. It does, however, have certain downsides. For example, if this equipment becomes overheated, it may become damaged or even catch fire! In reality, the undesirable high electric currents harm not only these gadgets, but all of the appliances in our home. Any gadget can only withstand a certain quantity of electric current. If the current surpasses that limit, the device's components heat up, perhaps resulting in a fire! Is there a way to prevent this from happening? An "electric fuse" is a device that is used to prevent this from happening. It comes in a variety of forms and sizes. This is how it usuall...

Using the IR2110 high-low side driver - explanation and circuit examples

In many situations, we need to use MOSFETs configured as high-side switches. Many a times we need to use MOSFETs configured as high-side and low-side switches. Such as in bridge circuits. In half-bridge circuits, we have 1 high-side MOSFET and 1 low-side MOSFET. In full-bridge circuits we have 2 high-side MOSFETs and 2 low-side MOSFETs. In such situations, there is a need to use high-side drive circuitry alongside low-side drive circuitry. The most common way of driving MOSFETs in such cases is to use high-low side MOSFET drivers. Undoubtedly, the most popular such driver chip is the IR2110. And in this article/tutorial, I will talk about the IR2110. Notice that the IR2110 comes in two packages – 14 pin through-hole PDIP package and the 16-pin surface mount SOIC package. Now let's talk about the different pins. VCC is the low-side supply and should be between 10V and 20V. VDD is the logic supply to the IR2110. It can be between +3V to +20V (with reference to VSS). The actual voltag...
