This circuit is a Voltage/Phase Detector and works thanks to three BC547 transistors. The operation of the circuit is very simple, the small antenna is able to pick up the electromagnetic wave (EMF) emitted by the electric voltage.. this signal is amplified by the transistors, the third transistor acts as a switch and when signal reach its base it becomes closed switch and turn on the LED. This detector can be powered from 3 volts to 9 volts DC, I have prepared the PCB to house a 3 volt battery (CR2032). Read the list of components carefully if you want to power my project differently. It is designed to be used as a phase detector on medium voltage electrical systems (at 230v AC). Be very careful when using these tools, 230 Volt is very dangerous and can kill!
What is a phase detector?
A phase detector is a simple and inexpensive instrument used to detect the presence of electrical voltage on any circuit and in particular to identify the presence of a phase on a conductor. There are different types of phase detector, usually they have the shape and functionality of a screwdriver, but in the transparent and insulating handle there is a small neon lamp with an electrical resistance connected in series... one end of the circuit is connected to the tip of the screwdriver, the other to a plate on the handle. But this is my electronic version!
Components (if powered with 3 volt battery):
- 3x BC547 NPN Transistor
- 1x 5 mm LED (Red, Yellow or Green)
- 1x CR2032 Battery (3 volt)
- 1x CR2032 Battery Case
- 1x 100Ω Resistor (220Ω if powered with more than 5v)
- 1x 100KΩ Resistor
- 1x 560KΩ Resistor
- 1x 10uF (25/100v) Electrolytic Capacitor
- 1x On/Off Button with 4 Pin
- 1x Metal Wire 7cm (1 mm thickness)
If you add PWR Led:
- 1x 3/5 mm LED (Any color)
- 1x 1KΩ Resistor (if powered with more than 5v)
- 1x 330Ω Resisrtor (if powered with less than 5v)
