Anyone can assemble such a simple regulator. Knowledge of electronics will not be required, since a ready-made Chinese module will be used, which can be purchased for a very small amount. With all this, the regulator is capable of regulating the power of devices up to 2000 W.
The regulator can be used to regulate the power of any electric heating devices, various engines, power tools, etc.
Will need
- Junction box.
- Wire sleeve.
- Wire with plug.
- Socket.
- Regulator board, order on Aliexpress - HERE - http://alii.pub/5zkesp.
- Small screws.
Making a power regulator
We disassemble the junction box by removing the top cover.
We take the socket and disassemble it in the same way.
We unscrew the side fastenings so that they do not dangle. They won't be useful anymore.
At this point, you don’t need to do anything else with the outlet.
We drill a hole in the cover of the distribution box for the socket.
We install the socket in this socket and secure it with self-tapping screws.
Using a step drill, we make a hole in the side of the box for the wire bushing.
We insert the bushing and secure it with plastic nuts on both sides that come with the bushing.
We pass the wire through it.
We connect the stripped wires of the network cable to the screw terminals. And also screw a piece of wire to connect to the outlet.
We connect the wires to the contacts of the socket.
Using a stepped drill, we drill a hole on the other side of the box for the variable resistor of the module board. It will also hold the entire board in the case.
We insert the variable resistor into the hole and secure it with a nut.
We put the handle on the shaft.
Close the lid of the box and assemble the socket.
We screw the sleeve, thereby fixing the wire.
We tighten the four screws of the box. At this point the regulator is ready.
Checking the operation of the regulator
We turn on the network, connect the light bulb. Everything is adjusted very smoothly, without any jumps or steps.
We are trying to connect the grinder.
I think it won’t be difficult to figure out how and where to use this: electric stoves, water heater heating elements, pump motors, etc. The thing is useful and necessary in everyday life.
Friends, follow all safety requirements. The tension that is present inside is life-threatening.
