ABSTRACT
This over/under voltage cut-out will save your costly electrical and electronic appliances
from the adverse effects of very high and very low mains voltages. The circuit features auto
reset and utilizes easily available components. It makes use of the comparators available
inside 555 timer ICs. Supply is tapped from different points of the power supply circuit for
relay and control circuit operation to achieve reliability.
The circuit utilises comparator 2for control while comparator 1 output (connected to reset pin
R) is kept low by shorting pins 5 and 6 of 555 IC. The positive input pin of comparator 2 is
at 1/3rd of Vcc voltage. Thus as long as negative input pin 2 is less positive than 1/3 Vcc,
comparator 2 output is high and the internal flip-flop is set ,i.e. its Q output (pin 3) is high. At
the same time pin 7 is in high impedance state and LED connected to pin7 is therefore off.The output (at pin 3) reverses (goes low) when pin2 is taken more positive than1/3 Vcc. At
the same time pin7 goes low (as Q output of internal flip-flop is high) and the ED connected
to pin 7is lit. Both timers (IC1 andIC2) are configured to function in the same fashion. Preset
VR1 is adjusted for under voltage (say 160 volts) cut-out by observing that LED1 just lights
up when mains voltage is slightly greater than160V AC. At this setting the output at pin 3 of
IC1 is low and transistor T1 is in cut-off state. As a result RESET pin4 of IC2 is held high
since it is connected to Vcc via 100 kilo-ohm resistor R4.Preset VR2 is adjusted for
overvoltage (say 270V AC) cut-out by observing that LED2 just extinguishes when
the mains voltage is slightly less than 270V AC. With RESET pin 4 of IC2 high, the output
pin 3 is also high. As a result transistor T2conducts and energises relay RL1, connecting load
to power supply via its N/O contacts.
This is the situation as long as mains voltage is greater than 160V AC but less than 270V AC.
When mains voltage goes beyond270V AC, it causes output pin 3 ofIC2 to go low and cut-
off transistor T2and de- energise relay RL1, in spite of RESET pin 4 still being high. When
mains voltage goes below 160V AC, IC1s pin 3 goes high and LED1 is extinguished. The
high output at pin 3results in conduction of transistor T1.As a result collector of transistor
T1as also RESET pin 4 of IC2 are pulled low. Thus output of IC2 goes low and transistor T2
does not conduct. As a result relay RL1 is de-energised, which causes load to be disconnected
from the supply. When mains voltage again goes beyond 160V AC (but less than 270V AC)
the relay again energises to connect the load to power supply.

CHAPTER-I
INTRODUCTION
Here is an inexpensive auto cut-off circuit, which is fabricated using transistor and other
discrete components. It can be used to protect loads such as refrigerator, T.V., and VCR from
undesirable over and under line voltages, as well as surges caused due to sudden
failure/resumption of main power supply. This circuit can be used directly as a standalone
circuit between the mains supply and the load, or it may be inserted between an existing
automatic/manual stabilizer and the load.
The over/under voltage cut-off with ON-Time delay provides various types of protection
1) Over-voltage protection.
2) Under-voltage protection.
3) Protection against transients.
4) Protection to load from frequent turning ON & OFF by providing time delay.
The on-time delay circuit not only protects the load from switching surges but also from
quick changeover (off and on) effect of over/under-voltage relay, in case the mains voltage
starts fluctuating in the vicinity of under or over voltage preset points. When the mains
supply goes out of preset (over or under voltage) limits, the relay/load is turned off
immediately and it is turned on only when A.C. mains voltage settles within the presets limits
for a period equal to the on time delay period. The on-time delay period is preset able for 5
seconds to 2 minutes duration using presets VR3 and VR4. For refrigerators the delay should
be preset for about 2 minutes duration to protect the compressor motor from frequently
turning on and off.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
4.1 TRANSFORMER:
A transformer is a power converter that transfers energy between two electrical circuits by
inductive coupling between two or more windings. A varying current in the primary winding
creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core and thus a varying magnetic flux
through the secondary winding. This varying magnetic flux induces a varying EMF, or
VOLTAGE, in the secondary winding. This effect is called inductive coupling.
If a load is connected to the secondary winding, current will flow in this winding, and
electrical energy will be transferred from the primary circuit through the transformer to the
load. Transformers may be used for AC-to-AC conversion of a single power frequency, or for
conversion of signal power over a wide range of frequencies, such as audio or radio
frequencies.

In an ideal transformer, the induced voltage in the secondary winding (Vs) is in proportion to
the primary voltage (Vp) and is given by the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary (Ns)
to the number of turns in the primary (Np) as follows:
By appropriate selection of the ratio of turns, a transformer thus enables an altering
current(AC) voltage to be "stepped up" by makingNs greater than Np, or "stepped down" by
making Ns less than Np. The windings are coils wound around a ferromagnetic core and air-
core transformers being a notable exception.
Transformers range in size from a thumbnail-sized coupling transformer hidden inside a stage
microphone to huge units weighing hundreds of tons used in power stations, or to
interconnect portions of power grids. All operate on the same basic principles, although the
range of designs is wide. While new technologies have eliminated the need for transformers
in some electronic circuits, transformers are still found in nearly all electronic devices
designed for house hold voltages. Transformers are essential for high-voltage electric power
transmission, which makes long-distance transmission economically practical.
4.1.1 BASIC PRINCIPLE OF TRANSFORMER:
The transformer is based on two principles: first, that an electric current can produce a
magnetic flux and second that a changing magnetic field within a coil of wire induces a
voltage across the ends of the coil. Changing the current in the primary coil changes the
magnetic flux that is developed. The changing magnetic flux induces a voltage in the
secondary coil.
An ideal transformer is shown in the adjacent figure. Current passing through the primary
coil creates a magnetic field. The primary and secondary coils are wrapped around a core of
very high magnetic permeability such as iron so that most of the magnetic flux passes
through both the primary and secondary coils. If a load is connected to the secondary

winding, the load current and voltage will be in the directions indicated, given the primary
current and voltage in the directions indicated.
Induction law
The voltage induced across the secondary coil may be calculated from faradays laws of
induction which states that:
where Vs is the instantaneous voltage,Ns is the number of turns in the secondary coil and
is the magnetic flux through one turn of the coil. If the turns of the coil are oriented
perpendicularly to the magnetic field lines, the flux is the product of the magnetic flux
density B and the area A through which it cuts. The area is constant, being equal to the
cross-sectional area of the transformer core, whereas the magnetic field varies with time
according to the excitation of the primary. Since the same magnetic flux passes through
both the primary and secondary coils in an ideal transformer. the instantaneous voltage
across the primary winding equals
Taking the ratio of the two equations forVs and Vp gives the basic equation for stepping up
or stepping down the voltage
Np/Ns is known as the turns ratio, and is the primary functional characteristic of any
transformer. In the case of step-up transformers, this may sometimes be stated as the
reciprocal, Ns/Np. Turns ratio is commonly expressed as an irreducible fraction or ratio: for
example, a transformer with primary and secondary windings of, respectively, 100 and
150 turns is said to have a turns ratio of 2:3 rather than 0.667 or 100:150.

Ideal power equation
The ideal transformer as a circuit element
If the secondary coil is attached to a load that allows current to flow, electrical power is
transmitted from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit. Ideally, the transformer is
perfectly efficient. All the incoming energy is transformed from the primary circuit to the
magnetic field and into the secondary circuit. If this condition is met, the input electric power
must equal the output power:
giving the ideal transformer equation
This formula is a reasonable approximation for most commercial built transformers today.
If the voltage is increased, then the current is decreased by the same factor. The impedance in
one circuit is transformed by the square of the turns ratio. For example, if an impedance Zs is
attached across the terminals of the secondary coil, it appears to the primary circuit to have an
impedance of (Np/Ns)2Zs. This relationship is reciprocal, so that the impedance Zp of the
primary circuit appears to the secondary to be (Ns/ Np)2Zp.

TYPES
A wide variety of transformer designs are used for different applications, though they share
several common features. Important common transformer types are described below.
Autotransformer:
In an autotransformer portions of the same winding act as both the primary and secondary.
The winding has at least three taps where electrical connections are made. An
autotransformer can be smaller, lighter and cheaper than a standard dual-winding
transformer, but it does not provide electrical isolation.
As an example of the material saving an autotransformer can provide, consider a double
wound 2 kVA transformer designed to convert 240 volts to 120 volts. Such a transformer
would require 8 amp wire for the 240 volt primary and 16 amp wire for the secondary. If
constructed as an autotransformer, the output is a simple tap at the centre of the 240 volt
winding. Even though the whole winding can be wound with 8 amp wire, 16 amps can
nevertheless be drawn from the 120 volt tap.
Autotransformers are often used to step up or down between voltages in the 110-117-120 volt
range and voltages in the 220-230-240 volt range, e.g., to output either 110 or 120V (with
taps) from 230V input, allowing equipment from a 100 or 120V region to be used in a 230V
region.
A variable autotransformer is made by exposing part of the winding coils and making the
secondary connection through a sliding brush, giving a variable turns ratio. Such a device is

often referred to by the trademark name Variac. It resembles, but is different from,
a potentiometer.
Polyphase transformers
For three-phase supplies, a bank of three individual single-phase transformers can be used, or
all three phases can be incorporated as a single three-phase transformer. In this case, the
magnetic circuits are connected together, the core thus containing a three-phase flow of flux.
A number ofwinding configurations are possible, giving rise to different attributes and phase
shifts. One particular polyphase configuration is the zigzag transformer, used
for grounding and in the suppression of harmonic currents.
Leakage transformers
A leakage transformer, also called a stray-field transformer, has a significantly higher leakage
inductance than other transformers, sometimes increased by a magnetic bypass or shunt in its
core between primary and secondary, which is sometimes adjustable with a set screw. This
provides a transformer with an inherent current limitation due to the loose coupling between
its primary and the secondary windings. The output and input currents are low enough to
prevent thermal overload under all load conditionseven if the secondary is shorted.
A resonant transformer is a kind of leakage transformer. It uses the leakage inductance of its
secondary windings in combination with external capacitors, to create one or more resonant
circuits. Resonant transformers such as the Tesla coil can generate very high voltages, and are
able to provide much higher current than electrostatic high-voltage generation machines such

as the Van de Graf generator. One of the applications of the resonant transformer is for
the CCFL inverter.
AUDIO TRANSFORMERS
Audio transformers are those specifically designed for use in audio circuits. They can be used
to block radio frequency interference or the DC component of an audio signal, to split or
combine audio signals, or to provide impedance matching between high and low impedance
circuits, such as between a high impedance tube (valve) amplifier output and a low
impedance loudspeaker, or between a high impedance instrument output and the low
impedance input of a mixing console.
OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS
Early audio amplifiers used transformers for coupling between stages, i.e., for transferring
signal without connecting different operating voltages together. It was realised that
transformers introduced distortion; furthermore they produced significant frequency-
dependent phase shifts, particularly at higher frequencies. The phase shift was not
problematical in itself, but made it difficult to introduce distortion-cancelling negative
feedback, either over a transformer-coupled stage or the whole amplifier. Where they were
used as a convenient way to isolate stages while coupling signals, transformers could be
eliminated by using capacitor coupling.
The transformer coupling the output of the amplifier to the loudspeaker, however, had the
important requirement to couple the high impedance of the output valves with the low
impedance of the loudspeakers. With the 1940s Williamson amplifier as a much-quoted early
example, audio amplifiers with hitherto unprecedentedly low distortion were produced, using
designs with only one transformer, the output transformer, and large overall negative
feedback. Some attempts to design transformer less amplifiers were made, for example using
very-low-impedance power triodes , but were not widely used.
The design of output transformers became a critical requirement for achieving low distortion,
and carefully designed, expensive components were produced with minimal inherent
distortion and phase shift. Blumlein's Ultra-Linear transformer design was used in

Some early junction transistor amplifiers used transformers in the signal path, both interstage
and output, but solid-state designs were rapidly produced with suitably low impedance to
drive loudspeakers without using transformers, allowing very large amounts of feedback to
be applied without instability.
INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS
Instrument transformers are used for measuring voltage and current in electrical power
systems, and for power system protection and control. Where a voltage or current is too large
to be conveniently used by an instrument, it can be scaled down to a standardized low value.
Instrument transformers isolate measurement, protection and control circuitry from the high
currents or voltages present on the circuits being measured or controller.
CURRENT TRANSFORMERS:
A current transformeris a transformer designed to provide a current in its secondary coil
proportional to the current flowing in its primary coil.
Voltage transformers (VTs), also referred to as "potential transformers" (PTs), are designed
to have an accurately known transformation ratio in both magnitude and phase, over a range
of measuring circuit impedances. A voltage transformer is intended to present a negligible
load to the supply being measured. The low secondary voltage allows protective relay
equipment and measuring instruments to be operated at a lower voltages.

Both current and voltage instrument transformers are designed to have predictable
characteristics on overloads. Proper operation of over-current protective relays requires that
current transformers provide a predictable transformation ratio even during a short-circuit.
4.2 DIODES
In electronics, a diode is a two-terminal electronic component with an asymmetric transfer
characteristic, with low resistance to current flow in one direction, and high resistance in the
other. A semiconductor diode, the most common type today, is a crystalline pieceof semiconductor material with a p-n junction connected to two electrical
terminals. A vacuum tube diode is a vacuum tube with two electrodes, a plate and heated
cathode.
The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction,
while blocking current in the opposite direction . Thus, the diode can be viewed as an
electronic version of a check valve. This unidirectional behavior is called rectification, and isused to convert alternating current to direct current, including extraction of modulation from
radio signals in radio receiversthese diodes are forms of rectifiers.
However, diodes can have more complicated behavior than this simple onoff action.
Semiconductor diodes begin conducting electricity only if a certain threshold voltage or cut-
in voltage is present in the forward direction. The voltage drop across a forward-biased diode
varies only a little with the current, and is a function of temperature; this effect can be used as
a temperature sensor or voltage reference.
Semiconductor diodes nonlinear currentvoltage characteristic can be tailored by varying
the semiconductor materials and doping, introducing impurities into the materials. These are
exploited in special-purpose diodes that perform many different functions. For example,
diodes are used to regulate voltage, to protect circuits from high voltage surges, to
electronically tune radio and TV receivers, to generate radio frequency oscillations, Gunn

which makes them useful in some types of circuits.
Diodes were the first semiconductor electronic devices. The discovery of crystalsrectifying abilities was made by German physicist Ferdinand Braun in 1874. The first
semiconductor diodes, called cat's whisker diodes, developed around 1906, were made of
mineral crystals such as galena. Today most diodes are made of silicon, but
other semiconductors such as germanium are sometimes used.

4.3 CAPACITOR
A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in
an electric field. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least
two electrical conductors separated by a dielectric.
When there is a potential difference across the conductors, a static electric
field develops across the dielectric, causing positive charge to collect on one plate and
negative charge on the other plate. Energy is stored in the electrostatic field. An ideal
capacitor is characterized by a single constant value, capacitance, measured in farads.
This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential difference
between them.
The capacitance is greatest when there is a narrow separation between large areas of
conductor, hence capacitor conductors are often called plates, referring to an early
means of construction. In practice, the dielectric between the plates passes a small
amount of leakage current and also has an electric field strength limit, resulting in
a breakdown voltage, while the conductors and leads introduce an
undesired inductance and resistance.
Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for blocking direct current while
allowing alternating current to pass, in filter networks, for smoothing the output
of power supplies, in the resonant circuits that tune radios to particular frequencies, in
electric power transmission systems for stabilizing voltage and power flow, and for
many other purposes.
Current-voltage relation
The current i(t) through any component in an electric circuit is defined as the rate of
flow of a charge q(t) passing through it, but actual charges, electrons, cannot pass
through the dielectric layer of a capacitor, rather an electron accumulates on the

negative plate for each one that leaves the positive plate, resulting in an electron
depletion and consequent positive charge on one electrode that is equal and opposite
to the accumulated negative charge on the other.
Thus the charge on the electrodes is equal to the integral of the current as well as proportional
to the voltage as discussed above. As with any anti derivative, a constant of integration is
added to represent the initial voltage v (t0). This is the integral form of the capacitor equation,
Taking the derivative of this, and multiplying by C, yields the derivative form,
The dual of the capacitor is the inductor, which stores energy in a magnetic field rather than
an electric field. Its current-voltage relation is obtained by exchanging current and voltage in
the capacitor equations and replacing Cwith the inductance L.
Capacitors, together with resistors and inductors, belong to the group of passive
components in the range of components for electronic equipment. Although in absolute
figures the most often produced capacitors are integrated capacitors, f. e. in DRAMs or
in flash memorys structures these article is concentrated on capacitors as discrete
components.
Capacitors today are industrial products produced in very large quantities for use in electronic
and in electrical equipment. Globally, the market for fixed capacitors was estimated with
approximately US$18 billion in 2008 for 1,400 billion (1.4 x 1012) pieces. This market in
point of quantity is dominated by ceramic capacitors with estimated of approximately 1,000
billion (1 x 1012) produced pieces per year

Detailed estimated figures in value for the main capacitor families are:
Ceramic capacitors with US$8.3 billion (46 %);
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors with US$ 3.9 billion (22 %);
Film capacitors and Paper capacitors with US$ 2.6 billion, (15 %);
Tantalum electrolytic capacitors with US$ 2.2 billion (12 %);
Super capacitors (Double-layer capacitors) with US$ 0.3 billion (2 %); and
others like silver mica and vacuum capacitors with US$ 0.7 billion (3 %).
A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a non-conductive region. The non-
conductive region is called the dielectric. In simpler terms, the dielectric is just an electrical
insulator. Examples of dielectric media are glass, air, paper, vacuum, and even
a semiconductor depletion region chemically identical to the conductors. A capacitor is
assumed to be self-contained and isolated, with no net electric charge and no influence from
any external electric field.
The conductors thus hold equal and opposite charges on their facing surfaces, and the
dielectric develops an electric field. In SI units, a capacitance of one farad means that
one coulomb of charge on each conductor causes a voltage of one volt across the device.
The capacitor is a reasonably general model for electric fields within electric circuits. An
ideal capacitor is wholly characterized by a constant capacitance C, defined as the ratio of
charge Q on each conductor to the voltage Vbetween them
Sometimes charge build-up affects the capacitor mechanically, causing its capacitance
to vary. In this case, capacitance is defined in terms of incremental changes:

pico farads. Additional bands have meanings which may vary from one type to another. Low-
tolerance capacitors may begin with the first 3 (rather than 2) digits of the value. It is usually,
but not always, possible to work out what scheme is used by the particular colors used.

4.4 IC 7809
7809 is a voltage regulator integrated circuit(IC) which is widely used in electronic circuits.
Voltage regulator circuit can be manually built using parts available in the market but it will
take a lot of time to assemble those parts on a PCB. Secondly, the cost of those parts is
almost equal to the price of 7809 itself so professionals usually prefer to use 7809 IC
instead of making a voltage regulator circuit from scratch. Before you start using 7809, you
will need to know about the pin structure of IC 7809. Apparently, it looks like a transistor.
It has three pins. For a better understanding, I have given an image of 7809 bellow. Please

It is wise to use two .1uF capacitors on both input and output sides to filter any ripple or
distortion in voltage but it is not necessary. In the image, you can see that 12V are being
supplied on the input side of 7809 but the out put side of 7809 is outputting Regulated 9V.
As long as the input voltage remains above 9V, output voltage of 7809 will remain smooth
and regulated.
Please note that input voltage of 7809 can be up to 23V but under my experience, it is wise
to avoid input over 15V. 7809 is claimed to output 9V and almost 1.5A Current but again, I
have experienced that we should not put a load over 9V and 1A on it. Since we are using it
in power supply, the transfer of power will result in heat output. We will need to use a heat
sink with 7809 otherwise this heat can damage it. It is advised to use a 1A fuse on the
output side of 7809 and a 1.5A fuse on the input side of 7809 to avoid damage in case of
short circuit.
4.5 RESISTORS
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical
resistance as a circuit element.

The current through a resistor is in direct proportion to the voltage across the resistor's
terminals. This relationship is represented by Ohm's law:
where Iis the current through the conductor in units of amperes, Vis the potential difference
measured across the conductor in units of volts, and R is the resistance of the conductor in
units of ohms.
The ratio of the voltage applied across a resistor's terminals to the intensity of current in the
circuit is called its resistance, and this can be assumed to be a constant (independent of the
voltage) for ordinary resistors working within their ratings.
Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are
ubiquitous in electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various compounds and
films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as nickel-
chrome). Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits, particularly analog
devices, and can also be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits.
The electrical functionality of a resistor is specified by its resistance: common commercial
resistors are manufactured over a range of more than nine orders of magnitude. When
specifying that resistance in an electronic design, the required precision of the resistance may
require attention to the manufacturing tolerance of the chosen resistor, according to its
specific application. The temperature coefficient of the resistance may also be of concern in
some precision applications. Practical resistors are also specified as having a
maximum power rating which must exceed the anticipated power dissipation of that resistor
in a particular circuit: this is mainly of concern in power electronics applications.
Resistors with higher power ratings are physically larger and may require heat sinks. In a
high-voltage circuit, attention must sometimes be paid to the rated maximum working voltage
of the resistor.

Practical resistors have a series inductance and a small parallel capacitance; these
specifications can be important in high-frequency applications. In a low-noise
amplifier or pre-amp, the noise characteristics of a resistor may be an issue. The
unwanted inductance, excess noise, and temperature coefficient are mainly dependent on
the technology used in manufacturing the resistor. They are not normally specified
individually for a particular family of resistors manufactured using a particular
technology.
A family of discrete resistors is also characterized according to its form factor, that is, the
size of the device and the position of its leads (or terminals) which is relevant in the
practical manufacturing of circuits using them.
Electronic symbols and notation:
The symbol used for a resistor in a circuit diagram varies from standard to standard and
country to country. Two typical symbols are as follows;
American-style symbols. (a) rheostat (b) potentiometer
IEC-style resistor symbol
The notation to state a resistor's value in a circuit diagram varies, too. The European notation
avoids using a decimal separator, and replaces the decimal separator with the SI prefix
symbol for the particular value. For example, 8k2 in a circuit diagram indicates a resistor
value of 8.2 k. Additional zeros imply tighter tolerance, for example 15M0. When the value
can be expressed without the need for an SI prefix, an 'R' is used instead of the decimal

separator. For example, 1R2 indicates 1.2 , and 18R indicates 18 . The use of a SI prefix
symbol or the letter 'R' circumvents the problem that decimal separators tend to 'disappear'
when photocopying a printed circuit diagram.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The hydraulic analogy compares electric current flowing through circuits to water flowing
through pipes. When a pipe (left) is filled with hair (right), it takes a larger pressure to
achieve the same flow of water. Pushing electric current through a large resistance is like
pushing water through a pipe clogged with hair: It requires a larger push (voltage drop) to
drive the same flow (electric current).
Ohm's law
The behavior of an ideal resistor is dictated by the relationship specified by Ohm's law:
Ohm's law states that the voltage (V) across a resistor is proportional to the current (I), where
the constant of proportionality is the resistance (R).
Equivalently, Ohm's law can be stated:
This formulation states that the current (I) is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely
proportional to the resistance (R). This is directly used in practical computations. For

example, if a 300 ohm resistor is attached across the terminals of a 12 volt battery, then a
current of 12 / 300 = 0.04 amperes (or 40 milliamperes) flows through that resistor.
Series and parallel resistorsIn a series configuration, the current through all of the resistors is the same, but the voltage
across each resistor will be in proportion to its resistance. The potential difference (voltage)
seen across the network is the sum of those voltages, thus the total resistance canbe found as
the sum of those resistances:
As a special case, the resistance of N resistors connected in series, each of the same resistance
R, is given by NR.
Resistors in a parallel configuration are each subject to the same potential difference
(voltage), however the currents through them add. The conductances of the resistors then add
to determine the conductance of the network. Thus the equivalent resistance (Req) of the
network can be computed:
The parallel equivalent resistance can be represented in equations by two vertical lines "||" (as
in geometry) as a simplified notation. Occasionally two slashes "//" are used instead of "||", in

As a special case, the resistance of N resistors connected in parallel, each of the same
resistance R, is given by R/N.A resistor network that is a combination of parallel and series
connections can be broken up into smaller parts that are either one or the other. For instance,
However, some complex networks of resistors cannot be resolved in this manner, requiring
more sophisticated circuit analysis. For instance, consider a cube, each edge of which has
been replaced by a resistor. What then is the resistance that would be measured between two
opposite vertices? In the case of 12 equivalent resistors, it can be shown that the corner-to-
corner resistance is 56 of the individual resistance. More generally, the Y- transform,
or matrix methods can be used to solve such a problem.
One practical application of these relationships is that a non-standard value of resistance cangenerally be synthesized by connecting a number of standard values in series or parallel. This
can also be used to obtain a resistance with a higher power rating than that of the individual
resistors used. In the special case of N identical resistors all connected in series or all
connected in parallel, the power rating of the individual resistors is thereby multiplied by N.

Power dissipation
The power P dissipated by a resistor is calculated as:
The first form is a restatement of Joule's first law. Using Ohm's law, the two other forms can
be derived.
The total amount of heat energy released over a period of time can be determined from the
integral of the power over that period of time:
Resistors are rated according to their maximum power dissipation. Most discrete resistors insolid-state electronic systems absorb much less than a watt of electrical power and require no
attention to their power rating. Such resistors in their discrete form, including most of the
packages detailed below, are typically rated as 1/10, 1/8, or 1/4 watt.
Resistors required to dissipate substantial amounts of power, particularly used in power
supplies, power conversion circuits, and power amplifiers, are generally referred to as power
resistors; this designation is loosely applied to resistors with power ratings of 1 watt or
greater. Power resistors are physically larger and may not use the preferred values, color
codes, and external packages described below.
If the average power dissipated by a resistor is more than its power rating, damage to the
resistor may occur, permanently altering its resistance; this is distinct from the reversible
change in resistance due to its temperature coefficient when it warms. Excessive power
dissipation may raise the temperature of the resistor to a point where it can burn the circuit

board or adjacent components, or even cause a fire. There are flameproof resistors that fail
(open circuit) before they overheat dangerously.
Since poor air circulation, high altitude, or high operating temperatures may occur, resistorsmay be specified with higher rated dissipation than will be experienced in service. Some
types and ratings of resistors may also have a maximum voltage rating; this may limit
available power dissipation for higher resistance values.
4.5.1 RESISTOR COLOUR CODING
The electronic color code is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components,
very commonly for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, and others. A separate code,
the 25-pair color code, is used to identify wires in some telecommunications cables.
The electronic color code was developed in the early 1920s by the Radio Manufacturers
Association (now part of Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), and was published as EIA-RS-
279. The current international standard is IEC 60062.
Color bands were commonly used (especially on resistors) because they were easily printed
on tiny components, decreasing construction costs. However, there were drawbacks,
especially for color blind people. Overheating of a component, or dirt accumulation, may
make it impossible to distinguish brown from red from orange. Advances in printing
technology have made printed numbers practical for small components, which are often
found in modern electronics.

A 2.26 kilo-ohm, 1% precision resistor with 5 color bands (E96 series), from top 2-2-6-1-1; the last
two brown bands indicate the multiplier (x10), and the 1% tolerance.
To distinguish left from right there is a gap between the C and D bands.
band A is first significant figure of component value (left side)
band B is the second significant figure (Some precision resistors have a third significant
figure, and thus five bands.)
band C is the decimal multiplier
band D if present, indicates tolerance of value in percent (no band means 20%)
For example, a resistor with bands of yellow, violet, red, and gold will have first digit 4
(yellow in table below), second digit 7 (violet), followed by 2 (red) zeros: 4,700 ohms. Gold
signifies that the tolerance is 5%, so the real resistance could lie anywhere between 4,465
and 4,935 ohms.
Resistors manufactured for military use may also include a fifth band which indicates
component failure rate (reliability); refer to MIL-HDBK-199 for further details.
Tight tolerance resistors may have three bands for significant figures rather than two, or an
additional band indicating temperature coefficient, in units of ppm/K.
All coded components will have at least two value bands and a multiplier; other bands are
optional.

Resistors use preferred numbers for their specific values, which are determined by
their tolerance. These values repeat for every decade of magnitude: 6.8, 68, 680, and so forth.

Zero ohm resistors are made as lengths of wire wrapped in a resistor-shaped body which can
be substituted for another resistor value in automatic insertion equipment. They are marked
with a single black band.
The 'body-end-dot' or 'body-tip-spot' system was used for radial-lead (and other cylindrical)
composition resistors sometimes still found in very old equipment; the first band was given
by the body color, the second band by the color of the end of the resistor, and the multiplier
by a dot or band around the middle of the resistor. The other end of the resistor was colored
gold or silver to give the tolerance, otherwise it was 20%.
Extra bands on ceramic capacitors will identify the voltage rating class and temperature
coefficient characteristics. A broad black band was applied to some tubular paper capacitors
to indicate the end that had the outer electrode; this allowed this end to be connected to
chassis ground to provide some shielding against hum and noise pickup.
Polyester film and "gum drop" tantalum electrolytic capacitors are also color coded to give
the value, working voltage and tolerance.

The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) used in a variety of timer, pulse generation,
and oscillator applications. The 555 can be used to provide time delays, as an oscillator, and
as a flip-flop element. Introduced in 1972 by Signetics, the 555 is still in widespread use, due
to its ease of use, low price, and good stability. It is now made by many companies in the
original bipolar and also in low-power CMOS types.

functional blocks. Between the supply voltage VCC (+) and the ground GND (-) is a voltage
divider consisting of three identical resistors which, when connected not from the outside, the
two reference voltages / 3 VCC and / 3 VCC supplies. The latter is at the terminal pin

Two comparators are each connected to one of the reference voltages, while the other two
inputs of which are fed directly to the terminals of trigger or threshold. The block diagram in

with up to 200 mA. Shown in the color pink.
Parallel to the output stage of a transistor is connected, the collector is located on the

8 VCC A supply voltage of + 5 V to+ 18 V is applied to thisterminal with respect to
ground (pin 1).
Note-PIN 5 is also called the CONTROL VOLTAGE pin By applying a voltage to the
CONTROL VOLTAGE input you can alter the timing characteristics of the device. In most
applications, the CONTROL VOLTAGE input is not used. It is usual to connect a 10 nF
capacitor between pin 5 and 0 V to prevent interference. The CONTROL VOLTAGE input
can be used to build an astable with a frequency modulated output.

Modes:
The 555 has three operating modes:
Monostable mode: in this mode, the 555 functions as a "one-shot" pulse generator.
Applications include timers, missing pulse detection, bounce free switches, touch switches,
frequency divider, capacitance measurement, pulse-width modulation (PWM) and so on.
Astable: Free running mode: the 555 can operate as an oscillator. Uses include LED and
lamp flashers, pulse generation, logic clocks, tone generation, security alarms, pulse position
modulation and so on. The 555 can be used as a simple ADC, converting an analog value to a
pulse length. E.g. selecting a thermistor as timing resistor allows the use of the 555 in a
temperature sensor: the period of the output pulse is determined by the temperature. The use
of a microprocessor based circuit can then convert the pulse period to temperature, linearize it
and even provide calibration means.
Bistable mode or Schmitt trigger: the 555 can operate as a flip-flop, if the DIS pin is not
connected and no capacitor is used. Uses include bounce-free latched switches.
4.7 RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to operate a
switching mechanism mechanically, but other operating principles are also used. Relays are
used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal or where several circuits
must be controlled by one signal. The first relays were used in long distance telegraph
circuits, repeating the signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitting it to another.
Relays were used extensively in telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical
operations.
A type of relay that can handle the high power required to directly control an electric motor
or other loads is called a contractor. Solid-state relays control power circuits with no moving
parts, instead using a semiconductor device to perform switching. Relays with calibrated
operating characteristics and sometimes multiple operating coils are used to protect electrical

circuits from overload or faults; in modern electric power systems these functions are
performed by digital instruments still called "protective relays".
Basic design and operation:
Small "cradle" relay often used in electronics.The "cradle" term refers to the shape of the relay's
armature.
A simple electromagnetic relay consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a soft iron core, an
iron yoke which provides a low reluctance path for magnetic flux, a movable iron armature,
and one ormore sets of contacts (there are two in the relay pictured). The armature is hinged
to the yoke and mechanically linked to one or more sets of moving contacts. It is held in
place by a spring so that when the relay is de-energized there is an air gap in the magnetic
circuit. In this condition, one of the two sets of contacts in the relay pictured is closed, and
the other set is open. Other relays may have more or fewer sets of contacts depending on their
function. The relay in the picture also has a wire connecting the armature to the yoke. This
ensures continuity of the circuit between the moving contacts on the armature, and the circuit
track on the printed circuit board (PCB) via the yoke, which is soldered to the PCB.
When an electric current is passed through the coil it generates a magnetic field that activates
the armature, and the consequent movement of the movable contact(s) either makes or breaks
a connection with a fixed contact. If the set of contacts was closed when the relay was de-

energized, then the movement opens the contacts and breaks the connection, and vice versa if
the contacts were open.
When the current to the coil is switched off, the armature is returned by a force,
approximately half as strong as the magnetic force, to its relaxed position. Usually this force
is provided by a spring, but gravity is also used commonly in industrial motor starters. Most
relays are manufactured to operate quickly. In a low-voltage application this reduces noise; in
a high voltage or current application it reduces arcing. When the coil is energized with direct
current, a diode is often placed across the coil to dissipate the energy from the collapsing
magnetic field at deactivation, which would otherwise generate a voltage spike dangerous
to semiconductor circuit components.
Some automotive relays include a diode inside the relay case. Alternatively, a contact
protection network consisting of a capacitor and resistor in series (snubber circuit) may
absorb the surge. If the coil is designed to be energized with alternating current (AC), a small
copper "shading ring" can be crimped to the end of the solenoid, creating a small out-of-
phase current which increases the minimum pull on the armature during the AC cycle.
A solid-state relay uses a thyristor or other solid-state switching device, activated by the
control signal, to switch the controlled load, instead of a solenoid. An optocoupler (a light-
emitting diode (LED) coupled with a photo transistor) can be used to isolate control and
controlled circuits.
4.8 TRANSISTORS
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and
electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals for
connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's
terminals changes the current flowing through another pair of terminals.

Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a
transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many
more are found embedded in integrated circuits. The transistor is the fundamental building
block of modern electronic devices, and is ubiquitous in modern electronic systems.
Following its development in the early 1950s the transistor revolutionized the field of
electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers,
among other things.
Transistor as a switch
Transistors are commonly used as electronic switches, both for high-power applications such
as switched-mode power supplies and for low-power applications such as logic gates.
In a grounded-emitter transistor circuit, such as the light-switch circuit shown, as the base
voltage rises, the emitter and collector currents rise exponentially. The collector voltage drops
because of the collector load resistance (in this example, the resistance of the light bulb). If
the collector voltage were zero, the collector current would be limited only by the light bulb
resistance and the supply voltage.
The transistor is then said to be saturated- it will have a very small voltage from collector to
emitter. Providing sufficient base drive current is a key problem in the use of bipolar
transistors as switches.
The transistor provides current gain, allowing a relatively large current in the collector to be
switched by a much smaller current into the base terminal. The ratio of these currents varies
depending on the type of transistor, and even for a particular type, varies depending on the

collector current. In the example light-switch circuit shown, the resistor is chosen to provide
enough base current to ensure the transistor will be saturated.
In any switching circuit, values of input voltage would be chosen such that the output is
either completely off or completely on. The transistor is acting as a switch, and this type of
operation is common in digital circuits where only "on" and "off" values are relevant.
Transistor as an amplifier
The common-emitter amplifier is designed so that a small change in voltage (Vin) changes the
small current through the base of the transistor; the transistor's current amplification
combined with the properties of the circuit mean that small swings in Vinproduce large
changes in Vout. Various configurations of single transistor amplifier are possible, with some
providing current gain, some voltage gain, and some both.
