5 A Constant Voltage-Constant Current Regulator

A constant voltage constant current  (CVCS) regulator  doesn’t mean a system with a constant load, since there will be no regulation in such case.  What we call CVCS regulator is a regulator with two modes. The first mode is constant voltage, where the regulator trying to regulate the supply to a variable load at a constant voltage. In this mode […]

Circuit Breaker

We can use a circuit breakers to limit the current in a single circuit in most household applications. Although breakers come in many sizes, typically a single circuit is limited to 20 amperes. This means that to bend it downward and release the spring-loaded trip-lever, 20 amps of current will heat the bimetallic strip. Another mechanism is employed to handle […]

Variable (Adjustable) Current Limiter Circuit

This circuit provide automatic current limiting up to 8.4A. Unlike current limiter that uses only a resistor, this current limiting circuit doesn’t drop the voltage, or at least keep the voltage drop at minimum, until a certain current amount is exceeded. This current amount limit is adjustable from 1.4 A to 8.4A using a potentiometer. You can modify the component […]
