the reuseable (electronic) fuse that only works in thoery
Try this out you need five parts including two resistors.
But you need to draw it first, with the following five components Thyristor (SCR) C106C Power transistor 2N3055 Low ohm resistor, I will say one Ohm (needed for the current to be set) Resistor to trigger the gate of the thyristor. One normally closed push "on" switch. Now for the circuit Going from the power supply to the load Draw a line to the anode of the SCR from the cathode goes the one Ohm resistor to the load. The collector of 2N3055 goes to the (power supply) - anode of the SCR, the base goes to the SCR cathode - one Ohm junction & the emitter of the 2N3055 goes to the one Ohm - load junction. You need something to activate the fuse (reset it), from the gate of the SCR, a resistor via a "press on" switch to the anode - power supply junction, make the resistor about 1K for every volt of the power supply (Max 60 Volts) ========================== Now hear is how it works in theory, When the current going through the 1 Ohm resistor exceeds the trip current of this electronic fuse, the 0.7 Volts across the 2N3055 turns the 2N3055 transistor on, that shorts out the anode-cathode of the SCR, below the holding current of the SCR and that turns the SCR off, causing the electronic fuse to trip and turn off. ========================== How ever this circuit found in "Elektor Electronics" magazine July-August 1980, page 7-34, does not work, I think the base-emitter current needed to turn the transistor on has been "shorted" out by the 1 ohm resistor, so it never gets to turn the 2N3055 on and short out the SCR and turning the fuse off. does anybody agree with that? |
