EEE DEPARTMENT Page 1

AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS This is a device to control the speed of fan and coolers automatically. During summer nights the temperature is quality high but as time es temperature starts dropping. So it is required to reduce the speed of a fan or cooler after particular periods. The circuit consist of IC1 (555 Timer IC) which is used as an astable multi vibrator used to generate clock pulses. These are fed to decade dividers or counters formed by IC2 and IC3 (IC CD4017B). These ICs act as divide by 10 and divide by 9 counters respectively. The values of capacitor C1 and resister R1 and R2 are adjusted so that the final output of IC3 goes high after 8 Hours. The device presented here makes the fan run at a full speed for pre- determined time. This speed is decreased to medium after some time and to slow then onwards after a period of 8 hours, the fan or cooler is switched off. By using this device these reducing can be done automatically. This also makes the reduced conception of power.

3.1. POWER SUPPLY:

SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS The input to the circuit is applied from the regulated power supply. The a.c. input i.e., 230V from the mains supply is step down by the transformer to 12V and is fed to a rectifier. The output obtained from the rectifier is a pulsating d.c voltage. So in order to get a pure d.c voltage, the output voltage from the rectifier is fed to a filter to remove any a.c components present even after rectification. Now, this voltage is given to a voltage regulator to obtain a pure constant dc voltage.

3.2. TRANSFORMER: SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS 3.2.1 History: The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction was discovered independently by Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry in 1831. However, Faraday was the first to publish the results of his experiments and thus receive credit for the discovery. The relationship between electromotive

force (EMF)

or

"voltage"

and magnetic

flux was

formalized

in

an equation now referred to as "Faraday's law of induction":

. Where

the magnitude of the EMF in volts and ΦB is the magnetic flux through

the circuit (in Webers). Faraday performed the first experiments on induction between coils of wire, including winding a pair of coils around an iron ring, thus creating the first toroidal closed-core transformer.

Fig.3.2.1 Faraday’s experiment with induction between coils of wires

3.2.2 Basic principles: The transformer is based on two principles: first, that an electric current can produce a magnetic field (electromagnetism), and, second that a changing magnetic field within a SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS coil of wire induces a voltage across the ends of the coil (electromagnetic induction). 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.

Fig.3.2.2. an ideal transformer

An ideal transformer is shown in the adjacent figure. Current ing 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 es through both the primary and secondary coils.

SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS Transformers convert AC electricity from one voltage to another with little loss of power. Transformers work only with AC and this is one of the reasons why mains electricity is AC. Step-up transformers increase voltage, step-down transformers reduce voltage. A step down power transformer is used to step down the AC voltage from the line voltage of 110 VAC or 220

VAC i.e.; it converts higher voltage at the input side to a lower voltage at the output.

Usually, DC voltages are required to operate various electronic equipment and these voltages are 5V, 9V or 12V. But these voltages cannot be obtained directly. Thus the a.c input available at the mains supply i.e., 230V is to be brought down to the required voltage level. This is done by a transformer. Thus, a step down transformer is employed to decrease the voltage to a required level.

3.2.3 Equivalent circuit: The physical limitations of the practical transformer may be brought together as an equivalent circuit model (shown below) built around an ideal lossless transformer. Power loss in the windings is current-dependent and is represented as in-series resistances Rp and Rs. Flux leakage results in a fraction of the applied voltage dropped without contributing to the mutual coupling, and thus can be modeled as reactance of each leakage inductance Xp and Xs in series with the perfectly coupled region. Iron losses are caused mostly by hysteresis and eddy current effects in the core, and are proportional to the square of the core flux for operation at a given frequency. Since the core

Flux is proportional to the applied voltage; the iron loss can be represented by a resistance RC in parallel with the ideal transformer. SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS A core with finite permeability requires a magnetizing current Im to maintain the mutual flux in the core. The magnetizing current is in phase with the flux; saturation effects cause the relationship between the two to be non-linear, but for simplicity this effect tends to be ignored in most circuit equivalents. With a sinusoidal supply, the core flux lags the induced EMF by 90° and this effect can be modeled as a magnetizing reactance (reactance of an effective inductance) Xm in parallel with the core loss component. Rc and Xm are sometimes together termed the magnetizing branch of the model. If the secondary winding is made open-circuit, the current I0 taken by the magnetizing branch represents the transformer's no-load current. The secondary impedance Rs and Xs is frequently moved (or "referred") to the primary side after multiplying the components by the impedance scaling factor (Np/Ns) 2.

Fig.3.2.3. Transformer equivalent circuit

3.2.4 Step down transformer:

SSCET



Fig.3.2.4. Step down Transformer Step down transformers can step down incoming voltage, which enables you to have the correct voltage input for your electrical needs. For example, if your equipment has been specified for input voltage of 110 volts, and the main power supply is 220 volts, you will need a step down transformer, which decreases the incoming electrical voltage to be compatible with your 110 volt equipment. A transformer is a electrical device with one winding of wire placed close to one or more other windings, used to couple two or more alternating-current circuits together by employing the induction between the windings. A transformer in which the secondary voltage is higher than the primary is call a step-up transformer, if the secondary voltage is less than the primary, then its a step-down transformer. The product of current times voltage is constant in each set of windings, so that in a step-up transformer, the voltage increase in the secondary is accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the current.

3.3. RESISTOR: Resistors (R) are the most fundamental and commonly used of all the electronic components, to the point where they are almost taken for granted. There are many different Types SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS of Resistors available to the electronics constructor, from very small surface mount chip resistors up to large wire wound power resistors. The principal job of a resistor within an electrical or electronic circuit is to "resist" (hence the name resistor) or to impede the flow of electrons through them by using the type of material that they are composed from. Resistors can also act as voltage droppers or voltage dividers within a circuit.

Fig.3.3.1. A Typical Resistor Resistors are "ive Devices", that is they contain no source of power or amplification but only attenuate or reduce the voltage signal ing through them.

This

attenuation results in electrical energy being lost in the form of heat as the resistor resists the flow of electrons through it. Then a potential difference is required between the two terminals of a resistor for current to flow. This potential difference balances out the energy lost. When used in DC circuits the potential difference, also known as a resistors voltage drop, is measured across the terminals as the circuit current flows through the resistor. Most resistors are linear devices that produce a voltage drop across themselves when an electrical current flow through them because they obey Ohm's Law and different values of resistance produces different values of current or voltage. This can be very useful in Electronic circuits by controlling or reducing either the current flow or voltage produced across them.

There are many thousands of different Types of Resistors and are produced in a variety of forms because their particular characteristics and accuracy suit certain areas of application, such as High Stability, High Voltage, High Current etc, or are used as general purpose resistors where their characteristics are less of a problem. Some of the common characteristics associated with the humble resistor are; Temperature Coefficient, Voltage Coefficient, Noise, Frequency Response, Power as well as Temperature Rating, Physical Size and Reliability. SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS .

In all Electrical and Electronic circuit diagrams and schematics, the most commonly

used symbol for a fixed value resistor is that of a "zig-zag" type line with the value of its resistance given in Ohms, Ω. Resistors have fixed resistance values from less than one ohm, ( <1Ω ) to well over tens of millions of ohms, ( >10MΩ ) in value. Fixed resistors have only one single value of resistance, for example 100Ω'sbut variable resistors (potentiometers) can provide an infinite number of resistance values between zero and their maximum value.

3.3.1. Standard Resistor Symbols:

The symbol used in schematic and electrical drawings for a Resistor can either be a "zigzag" type line or a rectangular box. There are a large variety of fixed and variable resistor types with different construction styles available for each group, with each one having its own particular characteristics, advantages and disadvantages compared to the others. To include all types would make this section very large so I shall limit it to the most commonly used, and readily available general purpose types of resistors.

CAPACITOR: Just like the Resistor, the Capacitor, sometimes referred to as a Condenser, is a

ive device, and one which stores its energy in the form of an electrostatic field producing a SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS potential difference (Static Voltage) across its plates. In its basic form a capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates that do not touch or are connected but are electrically separated either by air or by some form of insulating material such as paper, mica or ceramic called the Dielectric. The conductive plates of a capacitor can be either square, circular or rectangular, or be of a cylindrical or spherical shape with the shape and construction of a parallel plate capacitor depending on its application and voltage rating. When used in a direct-current or DC circuit, a capacitor blocks the flow of current through it, but when it is connected to an alternating-current or AC circuit, the current appears to straight through it with little or no resistance. If a DC voltage is applied to the capacitors conductive plates, a current flows charging up the plates with electrons giving one plate a positive charge and the other plate an equal and opposite negative charge. This flow of electrons to the plates is known as the Charging Current and continues to flow until the voltage across both plates (and hence the capacitor) is equal to the applied voltage Vc. At this point the capacitor is said to be fully charged with electrons with the strength of this charging current at its maximum when the plates are fully discharged and slowly reduces in value to zero as the plates charge up to a potential difference equal to the applied supply voltage and this is illustrated below.

3.4.1. Capacitor Construction:

SSCET



Fig.3.4.1. Capacitor construction The parallel plate capacitor is the simplest form of capacitor and its capacitance value is fixed by the surface area of the conductive plates and the distance or separation between them. Altering any two of these values alters the value of its capacitance and this forms the basis of operation of the variable capacitors. Also, because capacitors store the energy of the electrons in the form of an electrical charge on the plates the larger the plates and/or smaller their separation. the greater will be the charge that the capacitor holds for any given voltage across its plates. In other words, larger plates, smaller distance, more capacitance. By applying a voltage to a capacitor and measuring the charge on the plates, the ratio of the charge Q to the voltage V will give the capacitance value of the capacitor and is therefore given as: C = Q/V this equation can also be re-arranged to give the more familiar formula for the quantity of charge on the plates as: Q = C x V. The property of a capacitor to store charge on its plates in the form of an electrostatic field is called the Capacitance of the capacitor. Not only that, but capacitance is also the property of a capacitor which resists the change of voltage across it.

3.4.2. Voltage Rating of a Capacitor: All capacitors have a maximum voltage rating and when selecting a capacitor consideration must be given to the amount of voltage to be applied across the capacitor. The maximum amount of voltage that can be applied to the capacitor without damage to its dielectric SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS material is generally given in the data sheets as: WV, (working voltage) or as WV DC, (DC working voltage). If the voltage applied across the capacitor becomes too great, the dielectric will break down (known as electrical breakdown) and arcing will occur between the capacitor plates resulting in a short-circuit. The working voltage of the capacitor depends on the type of dielectric material being used and its thickness. Another factor which affects the operation of a capacitor is Dielectric Leakage. Dielectric leakage occurs in a capacitor as the result of an unwanted leakage current which flows through the dielectric material. Generally, it is assumed that the resistance of the dielectric is extremely high and a good insulator blocking the flow of DC current through the capacitor (as in a perfect capacitor) from one plate to the other.

3.5. TRANSISTOR (BC548): BC548 is general purpose silicon, NPN, bipolar junction transistor. It is used for amplification and switching purposes. The current gain may vary between 110 and 800. The maximum DC current gain is 800.

Table.5. Small signal characteristics BC 548 The BC548 is a general purpose silicon NPN BJT transistor found commonly in European electronic equipment; the part number is assigned by Proelectron, which allows many manufacturers to offer electrically and physically interchangeable parts under one identification. The BC548 is commonly available in European Union and Commonwealth Countries and is often the first type of bipolar transistor young hobbyist’s encounter. The BC548 is often featured in circuit diagrams and designs published in Electronics Magazines such as "Silicon Chip" and "Elektor". As a representative of the large family of bipolar transistors the BC548 provides a "stepping off point" to the use of more esoteric, higher voltage, current or frequency devices for beginners.

The "BC" part of the number designates a low power silicon NPN transistor. The BC548 is one of many such. Other part numbers have different characteristics and ratings. Its complementary, PNP transistor with similar characteristics is the BC558. A family of older "BC" transistors predates the TO-92 BC54x series, the BC107, BC108 and BC109, (with complements BC177, BC178 and BC179). These are generally housed in the TO-18 metal package, the same as what the North American 2N2222 uses. These older transistors have similar characteristics as the TO-92 BC5xx devices and are generally electrically interchangeable. The older devices possess a lower Vcebo voltage but similar collector current and frequency characteristics.

IC 555 TIMER: The 555 timer IC was first introduced around 1971 by the Signe tics Corporation as the

SE555/NE555 and was called "The IC Time Machine" and was also the very first and only commercial timer is available. It provided circuit designers and hobby tinkerers with a relatively cheap, stable and -friendly integrated circuit for both monostable and astable applications. The 555 come in two packages, either the round metal-can called the 'T' package or the more familiar 8-pin DIP 'V' package. About 20-years ago the metal-can type was pretty much the

standard

(SE/NE types). The 556 timer is a dual 555 version and comes in a 14-pin DIP package, the 558 is a quad version with four 555's also in a 14 pin DIP case .Inside the 555 timer, are the equivalent of over 20 transistors, 15 resistors, and 2 diodes, depending of the manufacturer. The equivalent circuit, in block diagram, providing the functions of control, triggering, level sensing or comparison, discharge, and power output. Some of the more attractive features of the 555 timer are: Supply voltage between 4.5 and 18 volt, supply current 3 to 6 m A, and a Rise/Fall time of 100 n Sec. It can also withstand quite a bit of abuse. The Threshold current determine the maximum value of Ra + Rb. For 15 volt operation the maximum total

resistance for R (Ra + Rb) is 20 Mega-ohm. The

supply current, when the output is 'high', is typically 1 milli -amp (m A) or less.

3.6.1. General Description: The LM555 is a highly stable device for generating accurate time delays or oscillation. SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS Additional terminals are provided for triggering or resetting if desired. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For astable operation as an oscillator, the free running frequency and duty cycle are accurately controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor. The circuit may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms, and the output circuit can source or sink up to 200mA or drive TTL circuits.

Features: ➢ Direct replacement for SE555/NE555 ➢ Timing from microseconds through hours ➢ Operates in both astable and monostable modes ➢ Adjustable duty cycle ➢ Output can source or sink 200 m A ➢ Output and supply TTL compatible ➢ Temperature stability better than 0.005% per °C

➢ Normally on and normally off output ➢ Available in 8-pin MSOP package

Pin diagram:

SSCET



Fig.3.6.1.Pin diagram of 555 Timer

Pin 1 (Ground):The ground (or common) pin is the most-negative supply potential of the device, which is normally connected to circuit common (ground) when operated from positive supply voltages. Pin 2 (Trigger): This pin is the input to the lower comparator and is used to set the latch, which in turn causes the output to go high. This is the beginning of the timing sequence in mono stable operation. Triggering is accomplished by taking the pin from above to below a voltage level of 1/3V+ (or, in general, one-half the voltage appearing at pin 5). Pin 3 (Output): The output of the 555 comes from a high-current totem-pole stage made up of transistors Q20 - Q24. Transistors Q21 and Q22 provide drive for source-type loads, and their Darlington connection provides state

this fact may be seen by examining. Since the latch itself is not directly accessible, this relationship may be best explained SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS in of latch-input trigger conditions. Pin 4 (Reset): This pin is also used to reset the latch and return the output to a low state. The reset voltage threshold level is 0.7 volt, and a sink current of 0.1mA from this pin is required to reset the device. These levels are relatively independent of operating V+ level; thus the reset input is TTL compatible for any supply voltage. The reset input is an overriding function; that is, it will force the output to a low state regardless of the state of either of the other inputs. It may thus be used to terminate an output pulse prematurely, to gate oscillations from "on" to "off", etc. Delay time from reset to output is typically on the order of 0.5 µS. The minimum reset pulse width is 0.5 µS. Pin 5 (Control Voltage): This pin allows direct access to the 2/3 V+ voltage-divider point, the reference level for the upper comparator. Use of this terminal is the option of the , but it does allow extreme flexibility by permitting modification of the timing period, resetting of the

comparator, etc. When the 555

timer is used in a voltage-controlled mode, its voltage-controlled operation ranges from about 1

Volt less than V+ down to within 2 volts of ground (although this is not guaranteed). Voltages can be safely applied outside these limits, but they should be

confined within the limits of V+

and ground for reliability. By applying a voltage to this pin, it is possible to vary the timing of the device independently of the RC network. The control voltage may be varied from 45 to 90% of the Vcc in the monostable mode, making it possible to control the width of the output pulse independently of RC. Pin 6 (Threshold):Pin 6 is one input to the upper comparator (the other being pin 5) and is used to reset the latch, which causes the output to go low. Resetting via this terminal is accomplished by taking the terminal from below to above a voltage level of 2/3 V+ (the normal voltage on pin 5). The action of the threshold pin is level sensitive, allowing slow rate-of-change waveforms. The voltage range that can safely be applied to the threshold pin is between V+ and ground. A dc current, termed the threshold current, must also flow into this terminal from the external circuit. This current is typically 0.1µA, and will define the upper limit of total resistance allowable from pin 6 to V+. For either timing configuration operating at V+ = 5 volts, this resistance is 16 Mega- ohm. For 15 volt operation, the maximum value of resistance is 20 Mega Ohms. SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS Pin 7 (Discharge): This pin is connected to the open collector of an NPN transistor (Q14), the emitter of which goes to ground, so that when the transistor is turned "on", pin 7 is effectively shorted to ground. Usually the timing capacitor is connected between pin 7 and ground and is discharged when the transistor turns "on". The conduction state of this transistor is identical in timing to that of the output stage. It is "on" (low resistance to ground) when the output is low and "off" (high resistance to ground) when the Output is high. In both the monostable and astable time modes, this transistor switch is used to clamp the appropriate nodes of the timing network to ground. Saturation voltage is typically below 100mV (milli -Volt). Pin 8 (V +): The V+ pin (also referred to as Vcc) is the positive supply voltage terminal of the 555 timer IC. Supply-voltage operating range for the 555 is +4.5 volts (minimum) to +16 volts (maximum), and it is specified for operation between +5 volts and +15 volts. The device will operate essentially the same over this range of voltages without change in timing period. Actually, the most significant operational difference is the output drive capability, which increases for both current and voltage range as the supply voltage is increased. Sensitivity of to supply voltage change is low, typically 0.1% per volt. There are special and

time interval military devices

available that operate at voltages as high as 18 volts.

3.6.2. Monostable Multivibrator Circuit details: Pin 1 is grounded. Trigger input is applied to pin 2. In quiescent condition of output this input is kept at + VCC. To obtain transition of output from stable state to quasi-stable state, a negative-going pulse of narrow width (a width smaller than expected pulse width of output waveform) and

amplitude of greater than + 2/3 VCC is applied to pin 2. Output is taken from

pin3.Pin4is usually connected to + V

CC

to avoid accidental reset. Pin 5 is grounded through a

0.01uF capacitor to avoid noise problem. Pin 6 (threshold) is shorted to pin 7. A resistor RA is connected between pins 6 and 8. At pins 7 a discharge capacitor is connected while pin8 is connected to supply VCC.

3.6.3. 555 monostable multivibrator operations: (a) The operation of the circuit is explained below: Initially, when the output at pin 3 is low i.e. the circuit is in a stable state, the transistor is on and capacitor- C is shorted to ground. When a negative pulse is applied to pin 2, the trigger input falls below +1/3 VCC, the output of comparator goes high which resets the flip-flop and SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS consequently the transistor turns off and the output at pin 3 goes high. This is the transition of the output from stable to quasi-stable state, as shown in figure. As the discharge transistor is cutoff, the capacitor C begins charging toward +VCC through resistance RA with a time constant equal to RAC. When the increasing capacitor voltage becomes slightly greater than+2/3VCC, the output of comparator 1 goes high, which sets the flip-flop. The transistor goes to saturation, thereby discharging the capacitor C and the output of the timer goes low. Thus the output returns back to stable state from quasi-stable state. The output of the Monostable Multivibrator remains low until a trigger pulse is again applied. Then the cycle repeats. Trigger input, output voltage and capacitor voltage waveforms are shown in figure.

(b) Mono stable Multi vibrator Design Using 555 timer IC: The capacitor C has to charge through resistance R

A

. The larger the time constant

RAC, the longer it takes for the capacitor voltage to reach +2/3VCC. In other words, the RC time constant controls the width of the output pulse. The time during which the timer output remains high is given as, tp =1.0986RAC Where RA is in ohms and C is in farads. The above relation is derived as below. Voltage across the capacitor at any instant during charging period is given as, Vc = VCC (1- e-t/RAC) Substituting Vc = 2/3 VCC in above equation we get the time taken by the capacitor to charge from 0 to +2/3VCC. So +2/3VCC. = VCC. (1 - e-t/RAC) or t - RAC loge 3 = 1.0986 RAC So pulse width, tP = 1.0986 RAC s 1.1 RAC .

RELAYS: “A relay is an electrically controllable switch widely used in industrial controls, automobiles and appliances.” The relay allows the isolation of two separate sections of a system with two different voltage sources i.e., a small amount of voltage/current on one side can handle a large amount of voltage/current on the other side but there is no chance that these two voltages mix up.

3.7.1 Operation: When current flows through the coil, a magnetic field are created around the coil i.e., the coil is energized. This causes the armature to be attracted to the coil. The armature’s acts like a switch and closes or opens the circuit. When the coil is not energized, a spring pulls the armature to its normal state of open or closed. There are all types of relays for all kinds of applications.

Fig.3.7.2. Relay Operation and use of protection diodes

Transistors and ICs must be protected from the brief high voltage 'spike' produced when the relay coil is switched off. The above diagram shows how a signal diode (eg 1N4148) is connected across the relay coil to provide this protection. The diode is connected 'backwards' so that it will normally not conduct. Conduction occurs only when the relay coil is switched off, at this moment the current tries to flow continuously through the coil and it is safely diverted through the diode. Without the diode no current could flow and the coil would produce a damaging high voltage 'spike' in its attempt to keep the current flowing.

3.7.2. In choosing a relay, the following characteristics need to be considered: ➢ The s can be normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). In the NC type, the s are closed when the coil is not energized. In the NO type, the s are closed when the coil is energized. ➢ There can be one or more s. i.e., different types like SPST (single pole single throw), SPDT (single pole double throw) and DPDT (double pole double throw) relay.

AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS ➢ The voltage and current required to energize the coil. The voltage can vary from a few volts to 50 volts, while the current can be from a few milliamps to 20milliamps. The relay has a minimum voltage, below which the coil will not be energized. This minimum voltage is called the “pull-in” voltage. ➢ The minimum DC/AC voltage and current that can be handled by the s. This is in the range of a few volts to hundreds of volts, while the current can be from a few amps to 40A or more, depending on the relay.

DIODE: In electronics, a diode is a type of two-terminal electronic component with a

nonlinear current–voltage characteristic. A semiconductor diode, the most common type today, is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material connected to two electrical terminals. A vacuum tube diode (now rarely used except in some high-power technologies) is a vacuum tube with two electrodes: a plate and a cathode. The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to in one direction (called the diode's forward direction), while blocking current in the opposite direction (the reverse direction). Thus, the diode can be thought of as an electronic version of a check valve. This unidirectional behavior is called rectification, and is used to convert alternating current to direct current, and to extract modulation from radio signals in radio receivers. However, diodes can have more complicated behavior than this simple on–off action. Semiconductor diodes do not begin conducting electricity until a certain threshold voltage is present in the forward direction (a state in which the diode is said to be forward biased). 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. SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS Semiconductor diodes have non-linear electrical characteristics, which can be tailored by varying the construction of their P–N junction. These are exploited in special purpose diodes that perform many different functions. For example, diodes are used to regulate voltage (Zener diodes), to protect circuits from high voltage surges (Avalanche diodes), to electronically tune radio and TV receivers (varactor diodes), to generate radio frequency oscillations (tunnel diodes, Gunn diodes, IMPATRT diodes), and to produce light (light emitting diodes). Tunnel diodes exhibit negative resistance, which makes them useful in some types of circuits. Diodes were the first semiconductor electronic devices. The discovery of crystals' rectifying 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.

3.8.1. Semiconductor diodes:

A modern semiconductor diode is made of a crystal of semiconductor like silicon that has impurities added to it to create a region on one side that contains negative charge carriers (electrons), called n-type semiconductor, and a region on the other side that contains positive charge carriers (holes), called p-type semiconductor. The diode's terminals are attached to each of these regions. The boundary within the crystal between these two regions, called a PN junction, is where the action of the diode takes place. The crystal conducts a current of electrons in a direction from the N-type side (called the cathode) to the P-type side (called the anode), but not in the opposite direction. However, conventional current flows from anode to cathode in the direction of the arrow (opposite to the electron flow, since electrons have negative charge). SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS Another type of semiconductor diode, the Schottky diode, is formed from the between a metal and a semiconductor rather than by a p–n junction.

3.8.2. Current–voltage characteristic: A semiconductor diode’s behavior in a circuit is given by its current–voltage characteristic, or I–V graph (see graph below). The shape of the curve is determined by the transport of charge carriers through the so-called depletion layer or depletion region that exists at the p–n junction between differing semiconductors. When a p–n junction is first created, conduction-band (mobile) electrons from the N-doped region diffuse into the P-doped region where there is a large population of holes (vacant places for electrons) with which the electrons "recombine". When a mobile electron recombines with a hole, both hole and electron vanish, leaving behind an immobile positively charged donor (dopant) on the N side and negatively charged acceptor (dopant) on the P side. The region around the p–n junction becomes depleted of charge carriers and thus behaves as an insulator. However, the width of the depletion region (called the depletion width) cannot grow without limit. For each electron–hole pair that recombines, a positively charged dopant ion is left behind in the N-doped region, and a negatively charged dopant ion is left behind in the P-doped region. As recombination proceeds more ions are created, an increasing electric field develops through the depletion zone which acts to slow and then finally stop recombination. At this point, there is a "built-in" potential across the depletion zone. If an external voltage is placed across the diode with the same polarity as the builtin potential, the depletion zone continues to act as an insulator, preventing any significant electric current flow (unless electron/hole pairs are actively being created in the junction by, for instance, light. see photodiode). This is the reverse bias phenomenon. However, if the polarity of the external voltage opposes the built-in potential, recombination can once again proceed, resulting in substantial electric current through the p–n junction (i.e. substantial numbers of electrons and holes recombine at the junction). For silicon diodes, the built-in potential is approximately 0.7 V (0.3 V for Germanium and 0.2 V for Schottky). Thus, if an external current is ed through the diode, about 0.7 V will be developed across the diode such that the P-doped region is positive with respect to the N-doped region and the diode is said to be "turned on" as it has a forward bias. A diode’s 'I–V characteristic' can be approximated by four regions of operation.

3.8.3. Types of semiconductor diode: There are several types of junction diodes, which either emphasize a different physical aspect of a diode often by geometric scaling, doping level, choosing the right electrodes, are just an application of a diode in a special circuit, or are really different devices like the Gunn and laser diode and the MOSFET: Normal (p-n) diodes, which operate as described above, are usually made of doped silicon or, more rarely, germanium. Before the development of modern silicon power rectifier diodes, cuprous oxide and later selenium was used; its low efficiency gave it a much higher forward voltage drop (typically 1.4 to 1.7 V per "cell", with multiple cells stacked to increase the peak inverse voltage rating in high voltage rectifiers), and required a large heat sink (often an extension of the diode’s metal substrate), much larger than a silicon diode of the same current ratings would require. The vast majority of all diodes are the p-n diodes found in CMOS integrated circuits, which include two diodes per pin and many other internal diodes.

silicon gate C2 MOS Technology. The M74HC 4017 is a five stage Johnson counter with 10 decoded outputs. Each of the decoded outputs is normally low and sequentially goes high on the low to high transition of the clocked input. Each output stays high for 1 clock period of the low to high after output 10 goes slow, and can be used in conjunction with the clock enable (CKEN) to cascade several stages. The clock enabled input disables counting when in the high stage. A clear (CLR) input is also provide which when taken high sets all the decoded outputs low. All inputs are equipped with protection circuit against static discharge and transient excess voltage.

CHAPTER 4 WORKING OF AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS

SSCET



Working: ➢ The circuit for the automatic speed controller for fans and coolers is shown in the figure. ➢ The supply voltage of 230V, 50Hz is given to the step down transformer and it is converted to 9V. ➢ The bridge rectifier converts AC to pulsating DC supply and is filtered with smoothing capacitor. ➢ In the circuit diagram IC1 (555 timer IC) act as an astable multivibrator. It is used to generate clock pulses. The pulses are fed to a decade divider counter, which is formed by IC2 and IC3. ➢

These ICs act as divide by 10 counters and divide by 9 counters respectively. The values of capacitors C1, resister R2 and R2 are so adjusted that the final output of IC3 goes high about 8hours.

➢ The first two outputs of IC3 (Q0 and Q1) are connected through diode D1 and D2 to the base of the transistor T1. Initially output Q0 is high and there for relay RL1 is energized. It remains energized when Q1 becomes high. The method of connecting the gadget of the fan or cooler is given in the figure. ➢ Initially the fan shall get A/C supply directly so it shall be run at high speed. When the output Q2 becomes high and Q1 becomes low, relay RL1 is turned off and relay RL2 is turned on.

➢ The fan gets A/C through a resistance and its speed drops to medium. This continues until output Q4 is high. When Q4 goes low and Q5 goes high, relay RL2 is activated thus the fan run at low speed. ➢ Throughout the process, pin 11 of the IC is low, so T4 is cut off, thus keeping T5 in saturation and relay RL4 is on. At the end of the cycle, when pin 11(Q9) becomes high T4 get saturated and T5 is cut off. Relay RL4 is switched off, thus switching of the fan or cooler. SSCET


AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROLLER FOR FANS AND COOLERS ➢ Using the given circuit the fan shall run at high speed for a comparatively lesser time when either of Q0 or Q1 output is high. At medium speed it will run for a moderate time period when any of three outputs(Q2 to Q4) is high, while at low speed it will run for a much longer time period when any of the four outputs(Q5 to Q8) is high. ➢ It is possible to make the fan run at the three speeds for an equal amount of time by connecting three terminal decoded outputs of IC3 to each of the transistors T1 to T3. One can also get more than three speeds by using an additional relay transistor and associated components and connecting one or more outputs of IC3 to it. ➢ It has been designed to reduce the amount of electric power.
