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 Visitor Counter automatically counts the number of people entering or leaving a room using an IR sensor. The count is displayed on a 16×2 LCD, and a buzzer can alert when a specific limit is reached. This project is widely used in shops, libraries, offices, and events to monitor occupancy. It demonstrates sensor interfacing, counting logic, and real-time display using Arduino.

A Battery High-Low Monitor is an electronic circuit or device that detects and indicates the voltage level of a battery — whether it’s too high (overcharged), normal, or too low (discharged). It helps protect batteries from overcharging or deep discharge, which can damage the battery or reduce its lifespan.
These monitors often use comparators, voltage dividers, LED indicators, or microcontrollers to track and display battery status in real time.

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 AND gate can be built using BC547 NPN transistors, a common general-purpose transistor used in digital circuits.
The circuit represents both the inputs A & B for the AND gate and Output, Q, which also has a +5V supply to the collector of the first transistor, which is connected in series to the second transistor, and an LED is connected to the emitter terminal of the second transistor. The inputs A & B are connected to the base terminal of Transistor 1 and Transistor 2, respectively, and the output Q goes to the positive terminal LED.

A Security Alarm Circuit using the LM358 IC is a simple yet effective system designed to trigger an alarm when unauthorized access or movement is detected. The LM358, a dual operational amplifier (Op-Amp), is used as a comparator to detect voltage changes from sensors like LDRs, IR sensors, or switches, and then activate a buzzer or relay.

A Flip-Flop LED Flasher is a simple electronic circuit that alternately turns two LEDs on and off in a continuous loop, creating a blinking or “flashing” effect. It’s commonly built using transistors, resistors, capacitors, and LEDs, forming an astable multivibrator — a basic circuit that oscillates between two states without any external triggering.
It’s often used for decoration, indicators, or learning basic electronics.
