If the voltage is too low, the device may not function properly. In the case of a refrigerator or an air-conditioner, the compressor may not work and could lead to burning of the motor. Additionally, all devices that use compressors, such as refrigerators and air-conditioners, should be restarted after a gap of two to three minutes. Otherwise, the compressor, which is full of refrigerant, may not be able to rotate and may get burnt out by drawing excessive current.
The circuit described below cuts out power to the load if the input voltage is too high or too low. The voltage at which the power is cut off can be adjusted. If the power fails briefly and resumes, it switches on power to the load after a gap of a few minutes; this time can be adjusted. If the voltage becomes too high or too low and then normalises, the device switches on after a gap of a few minutes. Fig. 1 shows the EFY lab’s prototype on a breadboard.
Circuit and working The circuit diagram of the voltage cut out with delay is shown in Fig. 2. It is built around quad op-amp LM324 (IC2), transistor 2N3904 (T1), 12V SPDT relay, three 1N4007 diodes, and a few other components.

Do Not Be Fooled BY AI HALLUCINATIONS
All AI models, especially large language models (LLMs), are prone to hallucinating—that is, they sometimes give wrong or fictitious responses that appear correct. Experts recommend providing unambiguous prompts and cross-checking responses before making decisions based on them.
Harnessing AUTOMATED OPTICAL INSPECTION (AOI) TECHNOLOGIES For PCBA Manufacturing
Your smartphone detects defects smaller than a virus using AOI, laser, and X-ray systems. These machines don’t just see—they think. These innovations, from AI-driven defect detection to Nano-CT systems revealing hidden flaws, reshape quality control in electronics manufacturing.
