AC Current Detector
₹180.00
In StockAn AC Current Detector is a device or circuit that senses the flow of alternating current (AC) through a wire or appliance. It typically uses components like a current transformer (CT) or hall effect sensor to detect AC current and activate an indicator such as an LED or buzzer.
Description
An AC current detector is designed to detect the presence or flow of AC current in a conductor without making direct electrical contact. It is widely used in electrical safety, troubleshooting, automation systems, and energy monitoring.
There are several methods to detect AC current, including:
- Current Transformer (CT)
- Hall Effect Sensor
- Shunt Resistor + Rectifier
- Inductive Pickup Coil
These detectors can be used for:
- Turning on an alert when current flows
- Detecting power usage in appliances
- Triggering relays for protection or automation
Applications of AC Current Detector:
1.AC Line Status Monitoring
1.Detects whether current is flowing in a power line.
2.Appliance Monitoring
1.Detects if a machine is ON or OFF based on current.
3.Overcurrent Protection
1.Triggers protection circuits when current exceeds a limit.
4.Home Automation
1.Smart switch activates based on appliance usage.
5.Industrial Equipment
1.Monitors operation of motors and heavy machinery.
6.Power Saving Systems
1.Turns off unused devices automatically if no current is detected.

A Touch ON/OFF Switch is an electronic circuit that allows a device to be turned on or off by simply touching a sensor pad or wire, instead of using a mechanical switch. It works by detecting a small electrical signal from the human body (capacitive or resistive touch) and using that to toggle the output state.
These switches are commonly used in modern electronics, home automation, and DIY projects due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, and user-friendly operation.

An XOR (Exclusive OR) gate is a digital logic gate that outputs true (1) only when the number of true inputs is odd. For two inputs, the output is high when the inputs are different. XOR gates can be constructed using basic logic gates or directly with transistors (BJT or MOSFET). Using transistors, we can design compact, efficient circuits for custom digital logic applications.
