Circuit forms high-frequency polarity clamp - 04/11/02 EDN-Design
Ideas.....You need a negative signal clamp to protect an ADC against negative-going
signals while measuring the positive pulse shape of the signal by digitizing the
waveform. In other words, you must clamp negative signals at 0V. The circuit in Figure
1 can clamp either positive or negative pulses to ground..... [Design Idea by Shyam

Current limit switch is Digitally programmable - 08/17/00 EDN-Design
Ideas.Current-limit switches are virtually ubiquitous in system controls. They provide
a safe means for regulating the current delivered to a load circuit. The switches
allow the load current to increase to a programmed limit but no higher. Typically, the
current limit is a EDN is migrating links. This link is not verified.

Domestic power limit warning - The circuit was designed to give an audible
warning when the 3.3KWh limit is exceeded. The transformer is a disused transformer
from a soldering gun. It is relatively easy to remove the few turns of the secondary
winding and rewind two turns of thick wire, as thick as the wire coming from the meter
at least. One turn should be enough if you have a limit of 6.6KWh, but operation at
this power level was not tested. As an alternative you may try a small toroidal mains
transformer: it is easy to add a few turns of thick wire.....(circuit added 07/07/07)

Soft Start - The circuit will limit the current through the supply wires to
5.5A for about 1.5sec. After that time the relay will close and the current flow won't
be restricted anymore. This is a very interesting circuit if you have a large
toroid with big electrolytic caps connected to the power supply, since these will act
like short circuits for a small amount of time if they start charging. ….(design added
