Sun Light Control Automatically Using SCR: How Circuit Works

This circuit uses an LDR (light dependent resistor) and SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) to automatically control lights based on sunlight. When the LDR receives indirect light, its low resistance causes current to flow, keeping the SCR and lights off. When receiving direct sunlight, the LDR's high resistance allows voltage pulses to trigger the SCR, connecting the AC power and turning the lights on. The circuit sensitivity is adjusted with a variable resistor. Electrical devices up to 200W can be connected but diode and SCR limits current to about 1 amp. The LDR should not be directly exposed to lamp light to only respond to normal ambient light.

Sun light control automatically using SCR

This circuit controls the turn the power off consumption in home automation. If it is
daytime working to break the circuit. But at night is connected to a working electrical AC
220 volts. Such as the opening and closing of the bulb. This lamp will illuminate when
the light bulb goes off into the evening and on beginning to dawn.
How circuit works
The circuits ready working. When the male plug, or for the circuit to the AC line power at
220 volts. The plug socket is connected to appliances in the home. Or connect with
bulbs. The circuit is based on the brightness of the light incident on the LDR. By the
features is as follows.
When LDR received an indirect light. It will have a low resistance causes a current flow
through too much or through to a ground fully. Makes a capacitor C1 look like short
circuit. As a result, the transistors Q1 and Q2 not works. So not have a voltage pulse to
trigger a SCR1(T106) or stop working so as to short-circuit the AC power. Makes
electrical components, or lamps connected to the plug socket. Or the connector points
SK1. Therefore not working or notice a light bulb goes out.
But when the LDR is received the sun light. The it s body will has the high resistance.
Makes the current flowing through the less. So flow to store at the C1. So have a
voltage across it to use as the bias voltage to the transistors Q2(BC337) and
Q1(BC327) runs. So has the voltage pulse to trigger to provide the SCR1 also works.
Therefore virtual circuits is connected to the AC power. Makes the electrical
components or the lamp that connected with the plug socket or the point-SK1 or noticed
the lamp is lit.
Additional, the LDR stands for the Light Dependent Resistor. Acts as a general sensor
light. It is a type of resistor whose resistance value changes according to the intensity of
incident light transmitted to it. If there is much light, the resistance is low, (as a result of
the current through a lot). If low light, the resistance is high, (as a result, less current
flow). The sensitivity of the circuit will adjust the variable resistor VR1.
Electrical appliances or light bulbs that are connected to a plug socket or points
combination with SK1 about not exceed 200 watts. Which depends on the tolerance
power of diode D1, D4 or D2, D3 and SCR1. When working AC circuits to flow
seamlessly through these devices, particularly the diode number 1N4007 will allow
current to flow only up to about 1 amp.
Do not install the LDR to the direct exposure to the light from the lamp will turn on-off.
Provides been specialized the normal bright light only. Or the the back lamps, the light
from the light bulbs.

Fuse status indicators for 12 volts power supply


This circuit is a Fuse status indicators for power supply 12V. If a fuse is normally, the LED is
going to lights all the time. But when it lacks, the LED will be blinking. The value of this
equipment in the circuit is suitable for a 12 volt power supply.
However able to change the power supply 6 volt or 24 volt, By reducing the value of the resistor
to half or increasing.

The display section consists of a stable multivibrators (Q1-BC547, Q2-BC547). And the driver
LED section (Q3), All circuits except for the R5 connect before the fuse.
The output of the multivibrators is going to work all times there are power supply, by passed
through the diode D2 to the input of the driver LED section (Q3s PinB) If the fuse is intact , the
base current of Q3 has still always, by passed through R5 and D1,the color LED shown
constantly. But when fuse in blown condition,the driver current Q3 is going to get from only
multivibrators, so the led is flashing.
The current rate of Power consumption about 30 mA, by almost all were used by the LED. If you
are used this circuit with some circuit that uses a high quality LED and changed R6 values to
suitably with the lower current of the LED.
