The IEEE standards for so-called `high power-over-Ethernet` (HPOE) have yet to be resolved, but most designers expect a 53 VDC source, usable current from each line of about 750 mA, and a total cable resistance of 12. 5 ohms. If you design for what will probably be the worst-case scenario, expect 46 VDC (48 V nominal) at 720 mA and 12. 5 ohms. At 72

0 mA, the cable would produce a drop of 9 volts, leaving 37 VDC to work with. In this case, about 26. 6 watts would be available at the end of the cable. The typical power stage running from this input would yield a bit over 20 watts. Unfortunately, that`s not nearly enough power for some applications. One solution is to use multiple Ethernet lines, but that topology raises the problem of power sharing. Here`s how to deal with that issue. Conventional HPOE interfaces consist of a polarity-protecting bridge rectifier and a hot-swap section with a power-over-Ethernet interface, followed by an isolated converter with regulated outputs. Preferably, these outputs won`t be load-dependent and will have good transient response. Typical designs use isolated feedback to produce one voltage, typically 5 VDC, which is then converted to various other voltages for the given application. In some cases multiple outputs are attempted from one feedback loop, but the regulation is very dependent on load. In either case, the losses in the bridge rectifiers and converters leave you with rather poor efficiency. Also, isolated feedback tends to provide rather poor transient response. The point of HPOE, on the other hand, is to get as much usable power from as few Ethernet lines as possible without sacrificing performance. That`s possible in the example below, which addresses both the HPOE interfaces and the power converters to to provide an...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
