Power Supply Failure Detector

It is very helpful to indicate the loss of power supply to some power critical instruments such as a lifecare device installed in a hospital.

Power supply failure detector. Provided are a power failure detection method a power failure detector a lighting device and a power supply device which enable power failure detection regardless of the state of a power supply switch without requiring interior wiring work. Working of power supply failure alarm. The front end of the design is a simple ac230v mains presence sensor built around one popular photocoupler pc817b oc1. After soldering the components as per circuit diagram connect the power supply and turn it on.

Then to check the system turn off the power supply and you will see buzzer start beeping as soon as you turn off the power. The only power failure device with plug detection. A reference voltage storage unit 29 which in the off state of a power supply switch. It employs an electrolytic capacitor to store adequate charge to feed power to the alarm circuit which sounds an alarm for a reasonable duration when the mains supply fails.

This minuscule power failure alarm circuit is a power supply monitoring device that will set off a piezo speaker when the ac mains mains supply cuts off. But the alarm circuit presented here needs no additional supply source. If your plug becomes unplugged from the power fail alarm itself this is detected electrically and the alarm sounds. Most of the power supply failure alarm circuits need a separate power supply for themselves.

The circuit also includes a standard on rechargeable 6f22 9 v battery bat in power supply and a low voltage slide switch s1 as the master power on off switch.
