The high durability nature of a light emitting diode (LED) make it suitable for ON/OFF indicator application. Because the limitation on low operating voltage, LEDs are normally applied on low voltage application. Fortunately, there is a simple method to apply LED indicator for high powerline voltage: reactance of a capacitor can be used to limit [...]

Closed Loop Motor Control Closed loop (servo) control is used to make a constant speed motor control. Constant speed means that the speed of the motor will be kept constant although the load is change, or even when the electric supply voltage is also changed. The circuit maintain the speed at a constant value [...]
