This motor overload circuit does not simply disallow overloading since it is permissible to overdrive a system but only if it is done for a short time (typically dependent on heat buildup). An overload detection circuit protects a motor against currents above rated current that persist for certain exposure times. The allowable exposure times are i

nversely related to the degree of overload current. The circuit has two overload current sensors with two respective overload thresholds. These are both connected to a pulse generating circuit and the pulse rate is accelerated when the second overload threshold is reached. The pulse generating circuit couples pulses to a pair of cascaded counters which generate a fault signal when a predetermined count is reached. The pulse generating circuit includes an integrator with a capacitor that must be discharged, before another pulse can be generated. The pulse generating circuit includes a comparator which operates a switch to discharge the capacitor shortly before coupling each pulse to the counters, to prevent a delay that would otherwise occur between signals from the integrator circuit. The design relates to a first improvement of multiple current-sensing circuits for an overcurrent protection device which are responsive in different degrees to various overcurrent conditions. Whereas the prior art provided a typical inverse response characteristic of overload trip time as a function of overcurrent, the present design provides a two-segment response characteistic in which the breakpoint between the segments and the shape of the response curve in the second segment can be controlled by the selection of components for the invented circuit. The design also relates to a second improvement in overcurrent detection devices of the...
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.....
