    A level transducer is a device that converts the level of water in a tank into an electrical signal. It works by using components like a resistor, transistor, battery and LEDs. The resistor reduces current flow while lowering voltage. The transistor amplifies and controls current. The battery provides power. LEDs light up to indicate the water level and are powered through the circuit. Level transducers are commonly used to monitor water levels in dams, rivers and underground wells.

    Level Transducer for

    Indication of Water Tank

    What is a Transducer?
    A transducer is an electrical device that is used to convert
    one form of energy into another form. In general, these
    devices deal with different types of energies such as
    mechanical, electrical energy, light energy, chemical
    energy, thermal energy, acoustic energy, electromagnetic
    energy, and so on.

    Classification of Transducers
    There are several ways in which you can classify
    transducers that include but not limited to the role of the
    transducer, structure of the transducer or the phenomena
    of their working.
    It is easy to classify transducers as Input Transducers or
    Output Transducers, if they are treated as simple signal
    converters. Input Transducers measure non-electrical
    quantities and convert them into electrical quantities.
    Output Transducers on the other hand, work in the
    opposite way i.e. their input signals are electrical and their
    output signals are non-electrical or physical like force,
    displacement, torque, pressure etc.
    Depending on the principle of operation, transducers can
    also be classified into mechanical, thermal, electrical, etc.
    Let us see the classification of transducers based on the
    following three ways:

     Physical Effect
     Physical Quantity
     Source of Energy
    Classification based on Physical Effect
    The first classification of Transducers is based on the
    physical effect engaged to convert the physical quantity to
    electrical quantity. An example, is the change in resistance
    (physical quantity) of a copper element in proportion to
    the change in temperature.

    The following physical effects are generally used:


     Variation in Resistance
     Variation in Inductance
     Variation in Capacitance
     Hall Effect
     Piezoelectric Effect

    Classification based on Physical Quantity


    The second classification of Transducers is based on the
    physical quantity converted i.e. the end use of the
    transducer after the conversion. For example, a Pressure
    Transducer is a transducer that converts pressure into
    electrical signal.
    Following is small list of transducers classified based on
    the physical quantity and corresponding examples

     Temperature Transducer – Thermocouple


     Pressure Transducer – Bourdon Gauge
     Displacement Transducer – LVDT (Linear Variable
    Differential Transformer)
     Level Transducer – Torque Tube
     Flow Transducer – Flow Meter
     Force Transducer – Dynamometer
     Acceleration Transducer – accelerometer

    Classification based on Source of Energy


    Transducers are also classified based on the source of
    energy. Under this category, there usually two types of
    transducers:

     Active Transducers
     Passive Transducers

    What is Level Transducer?


    level transducer that measures the level of water in dams
    and rivers and the level of under-ground water in ground
    in landslide areas. Effects of changes in atmospheric
    pressure do not need to be compensated, so high-accuracy
    measurement can be made.
    Components Used:
    1. 220 Ohm Resistor
    2. BC547 Transistor
    3. 9V Battery
    4. LEDs
    1. 220 Ohm Resistor:
    A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component
    that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.
    Resistors act to reduce current flow, and, at the same
    time, act to lower voltage levels within circuits.

    2. BC 547 Transistor:
    The BC547 transistor is an NPN transistor. ... A small
    current of the base terminal of this transistor will
    control the large current of emitter and base terminals.
    The main function of this transistor is to amplify as
    well as switching purposes. The maximum gain current
    of this transistor is 800A.
    3. 9V Battery:
    The nine-volt battery, or 9-volt battery, is a common
    size of battery that was introduced for the early transistor
    radios. It has a rectangular prism shape with rounded
    edges and a polarized snap connector at the top. This type
    is commonly used in walkie-talkies, clocks and smoke
    detectors.
    4. LEDs:
    A light-emitting diode is a semiconductor light source that
    emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the
    semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing
    energy in the form of photons.
