AC 220V Mains Powered Emergency Light and Alarm
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.
R1 = 220K
R2 = 470R
R3 = 390R
R4 = 1.5K
R5 = 1R
R6 = 10K
R7 = 330K
R8 = 470R
R9 = 100R
D1 = 1N4007
D2 = 1N4007
D3 = 1N4007
D4 = 1N4007
D5 = 1N4007
D6 = Led
D7 = 1N4148
Q1 = BC547
Q2 = BC327
Q3 = BC547
Q4 = BC547
Q5 = BC327
C1 = 330nF-400V
C2 = 10uF-63V
C3 = 100nF-63V
C4 = 10nF-63V
LP1 = 2.5V-300mA Torch Lamp Bulb
PL1 = Male Mains Plug
SW1 = SPST Switches
SW2 = SPST Switches
SW3 = SPDT Switches
SPKR = 8 Ohms Loudspeaker
B1 = 2.5V Battery (two AA NI-CD rechargeable cells wired in series)
Mains voltage is reduced to about 12V DC at C2s terminals, by means of the reactance of C1 and the diode bridge (D1-D4). This 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.
Close SW2 after the circuit is plugged.
The circuit is connected to 230Vac 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.

High Voltage AC Calibrator Circuit Using Op Amp
This a application circuit for calibration. This circuit is called high voltage AC calibrator circuit. In another dimension in sine wave oscillator design is stable control of amplitude. This is the figure of the circuit.
In this circuit, not only is the amplitude stabilized by servo control but voltage gain is included within the servo loop. A transformer is used to provide voltage gain within a tightly controlled servo loop. A voltage gain of 100 is achieved by driving the secondary of the transformer and taking the output from the primary. A current sensitive negative absolute value amplifier composed of two amplifiers of an LF347 quad generates a negative rectified feedback signal. This is compared to the LM329 DC reference at the third LF347 which amplifies the difference at a gain of 100. The 10 μF feedback capacitor is used to set the frequency response of the loop.
The output of this amplifier controls the amplitude of the LM3900 oscillator thereby closing the loop. As shown the circuit oscillates at 1 kHz with under 0.1% distortion for a 100 Vrms (285 Vp-p) output. If the summing resistors from the LM329 are replaced with a potentiometer the loop is stable for output settings ranging from 3 Vrms to 190 Vrms (542 Vp-p!) with no change in frequency. If the DAC1280 D/A converter shown in dashed lines replace the LM329 reference, the AC output voltage can be controlled by the digital code input with 3 digit calibrated accuracy.
