Over Voltage Protector
Over Voltage Protector
The problem of voltage fluctuation is common which some time passes high voltage may destroy electrical appliance. To overcome this type of problem the team of dreamlover technology design a simple but effective circuit over voltage protector, protects electrical appliance from over voltage. The logic of over voltage protector is so simple.
Circuit Description of over voltage protector
The whole circuit of over voltage protector is build and fabricated around operational amplifier used as comparator. The inverting input is given to pin 2 of op-amp IC (IC1) with reference voltage of 5.1V from zener diode. Similarly, non-inverting input is given to pin no 3 of IC1 use as sensor for over voltage protector for sensing voltage fluctuation in the mains. The two transistors T1 and T2 conduct alternating (i.e. one at a time) according to the voltage of mains. When voltage is around or below 240V AC transistor T1 is in off-state where T2 energized relay RL1. Similarly, when voltage becomes beyond 240V (i.e. above 240V) T1 is in conducting-stage and T2 is in off-stage which de-energized the relay RL1 and switch-off the appliance.
