Power-Back Surge Protector is a simple yet e ective solution for protecting your
valuable and sensitive electric/electronic systems. Power-Back Surge typically occurs
when power returns after a power-cut (black out) and connected equipments receives a
surge of electricity at an over-voltage level, which can be very damaging. Usually,
power-back surges are created by the utility, when it restores supply at an above normal Latest Article Comments

inputs tied together and biased at 1/2 Vcc through a resistive-potential divider. Since
the threshold comparator will trip at 2/3 Vcc and the trigger comparator will trip at 1/3
Vcc, the bias provided by the resistors are centered within the comparators trip limits.
The module does need a source of external power for operation, and so a “clean” 5v dc
supply is preferred here as the power supply for the entire circuit.

However, note that the onboard miniature relay cannot drive grid-supply powered
“goliath” loads without the help of an external heavy-duty switching relay. It is better
to use a T90 type (5v dc) heavy-duty relay as the external relay, because the type can
handle too much power e ciently.

(system overview)

Working of the circuit is very simple. Initially when the circuit is powered up or when
power supply is resumed, the relay remains in the de-energized state. This prevents the
power supply from reaching to the connected load. When the push-to-on switch (a
good quality momentary push button switch required) is depressed, the circuit turns to
active mode, relay is energized, and hence power supply is extended to the connected
load. The red LED in the circuit is the “power in” status indicator, and the green LED is UPS Power
the “power out” status indicator.

Author used an “O/E/N” pcb relay (part # 46-05-2CE) in the prototype, and a “Tyco” INVT Power
T90 pcb relay (part# T90N5D12-5) as the optional external relay. Photograph of the

Sorry have to be the potato picture as the nished system is in use now!
