 H bridge

An H bridge is an electronic circuit that enables

a voltage to be applied across a load in either
direction. These circuits are often used in
robotics and other applications to allow DC
motors to run forwards and backwards. H
bridges are available as integrated circuits, or can
be built from discrete components.

bidirectional control of two DC motors or to control a single stepper motor.

 Electro Mechanical Relays:
One of the simplest ways to accomplish high-current is with the use of relays. A
relay acts much like the light switch but instead of using a finger to change the
state of the contacts, a small magnet is used. The magnet is actually an electrical
coil that has a magnetic pull when energized. The pull of this magnet closes or
opens the contacts of the switch which completes the high-current circuit.

An Optocoupler, also known
as an Opto-isolator or
Photo-coupler, is an electronic
components that interconnects two
separate electrical circuits by means
of a light sensitive optical interface.

 What is a Solid State Relay
 No movable contacts and use semiconductor devices to switch a load
between ON/OFF states
 It has opt coupler to convert electrical signal from optical signal that
isolate the load from the control device
 It is activated when the control voltage is higher than the pickup voltage
and deactivate with the control voltage less than the pickup voltage
 Zero –Switching SSR: When the control voltage is applied. It turns ON
at the zero crossing and turns Off when the control voltage is applied.
 Instant ON SSR: Turns ON/OFF immediately when the control signal is
present.
 This is intended for precise control application
 Peak switching SSR: Switch the load when at the peak voltage.
