Device purpose:
This circuit is permanently plugged into a mains socket and NI-CD batteries
are trickle-charged. When a power outage occurs, the lamp automatically
illuminates. Instead of illuminating a lamp, an alarm sounder can be
chosen.
When power supply is restored, the lamp or the alarm is switched-off.
A switch provides a "latch-up" function, in order to extend lamp or alarm
operation even when power is restored.
Circuit operation:
Mains voltage is reduced to about 12V DC at C2's terminals, by means of the
reactance of C1 and the diode bridge (D1-D4). Thus avoids the use of a mains
transformer.
Trickle-charging current for the battery B1 is provided by the
series resistor R3, D5 and the green LED D6 that also monitors the presence of
mains supply and correct battery charging.
Q2 & Q3 form a self-latching
pair that start operating when a power outage occurs. In this case, Q1 biasing
becomes positive, so this transistor turns on the self latching pair.
If SW3
is set as shown in the circuit diagram, the lamp illuminates via SW2, which is
normally closed; if set the other way, a square wave audio frequency generator
formed by Q4, Q5 and related components is activated, driving the
loudspeaker.
If SW1 is left open, when mains supply is restored the lamp or
the alarm continue to operate. They can be disabled by opening the main on-off
switch SW2.
If SW1 is closed, restoration of the mains supply terminates lamp
or alarm operation, by applying a positive bias to the Base of Q2.
Notes:
Close SW2 after the circuit is plugged.
Warning! The circuit is connected to 220Vac mains, then some parts in the circuit board are subjected to lethal potential!. Avoid touching the circuit when plugged and enclose it in a plastic box.
This circuit was awarded with publication in ELECTRONICS WORLD "Circuit Ideas", September 2001 issue, page 708.
