Abstract

This report describes the design of an LED emergency light that switches on automatically

when main power fails. Power to the LED is supplied by a battery that keeps charging when

the main power is present. The circuit of the automatic LED light is designed, simulated and

built with hardware. The simulation results and design details are provided. Complete circuit

diagram, which is tested successfully, is given.

Ch. – 1 Block Diagram with Explanation of Each Block

1.1 Introduction Growing demand for the saving of electricity. It is based on the principle of providing light when

the power is cut off. This is accomplished by the use of automatic charger which gets charged

when power supply exists. When the battery is fully charged it stops charging. In case of power

failure, the LED glows automatically with the supply provided by the charged battery.

This project is working on two major processes:

1. It turns on automatically when the mains power fails, so you need not search it in the

dark.

2. Its battery starts charging as soon as mains resumes.

This Emergency light is used mostly in village because there is the lack of electricity which is

very required. In industries and as well as in household applications an emergency light is

employed where there is frequent non uniform voltage distribution occurs. Many types of

emergency lights from rechargeable torches to systems like generators are available in

market. All of them require a switch to operate them when frequent power failure occurs.

The present one deals with a model which senses the mains as well as daylight to switch on

the emergency light. There is no need to search the switch in the dark as it switches on/off

automatically. This present one has one on/off switch on operating which the emergency light

glows. In most of the emergency light there exists a drawback. The discharge level of the

battery is not being controlled to a safe level. The batteries get discharged completely and

lose their life rapidly. This is a very serious aspect in order to overcome this cut-off is provided

and there exists a minimum discharge level which ensures the long life of batter.

the LEDs as shown in the flow diagram.

FIG. 1.2.2 FLOW DIAGRAM

1.3 Explanation Of Each Block:

1.3.1 Power Supply:

For converting 230V AC to 12V AC, 12-0-12V Transformer is used. It steps down the

voltage from 230V to 12V AC. Now, to convert 12V AC to 12V DC we use Bridge

Circuit. There are four 1N4007 Diode is used to get 12V DC output. This is the function

of Power Supply to convert AC to DC.

1.3.2 Relay:

Relay is working as a Switch. There are three terminal NC (Normally Close) and NO

(Normally Open) and Common. Here we connect. NC terminal to the rechargeable

battery and Common terminal is Connects with the LEDs. Now if Power supply is on it

connects with NO terminal and charge the battery and when there is no power supply

NC terminal is connected with the battery and LEDs will be ON.

1.3.3 Rechargeable Battery:

Li-ION battery is used to give 3.7V as Output and Maximum Voltage of the battery is

4.7 voltage Zener Diode of 4.5V is used to get 4.5V as an input. So that it can be

measured how much time it will take to charge battery.

1.3.4 LEDs:

10 LEDs are connected in parallel to get charge from rechargeable battery when power

supply is cut off. It is on automatically when power supply is off.

Ch. – 2 Design Details

2.1 Transformer:

In this circuit the transformer used is of step down type which consumes 230 volts

as input (primary side) and produces output of 12volts. This can be termed as

230votls primary, 12v secondary step down transformer.

2.2 Relay circuit:

Relay is working as a Switch. In the input of Relay 9V DC supply can be given and

at the output if we connect bulb so relay is working as switch and bulb will turn

On/Off so, we can verify the working of Relay.

Simulated circuit for relay as shown below:

FIG. 2.2.1 Relay Simulation Circuit

2.3 Zener Diode:

It permits current to flow in the forward direction as normal, but will also allow it to

flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value - the

breakdown voltage known as the Zener voltage. The Zener diode specially made

to have a reverse voltage breakdown at a specific voltage.

For example, a diode with a Zener breakdown voltage of 4.2 V exhibits a voltage

drop of very nearly 4.2 V across a wide range of reverse currents.

2.4 Capacitor:

A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy

electro statically in an electric field. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely,

but all contain at least two electrical conductors (plates) separated by a dielectric

(I.e. insulator). An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value for

its capacitance. Capacitance is expressed as the ratio of the electric charge Q on

each conductor to the potential difference V between them. The SI unit of

capacitance is the farad (F), which is equal to one coulomb per volt (1 C/V). Typical

capacitance values range from about 1 pF (10−12 F) to about 1 mF (10−3 F)

2.5 Diode:

Diode is a two-terminal electronic component with asymmetric conductance; it has

low (ideally zero) resistance to current in one direction, and high (ideally infinite)

resistance in the other.

2.6 LED:

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a

basic PN-junction diode, which emits light when activated. When a fitting voltage is

applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the

device, releasing energy in the form of photons

Here 10 LEDs are connected in parallel to get charge from rechargeable battery

when power supply is cut off. And it will on automatically when power supply is off.

2.7 Rechargeable Battery:

Li-ION battery is used to give 3.7V as Output and Maximum Voltage of the battery

is 4.7 voltages. Zener Diode of 4.5V is used to get 4.5V as an input. So that it can

be measured how much time it will take to charge battery.

2.8 Bridge Circuit:

A bridge circuit is a type of electrical circuit in which two circuit branches (usually

in parallel with each other) are "bridged" by a third branch connected between the

first two branches at some intermediate point along them.

In the circuit of automatic emergency light the bridge circuit is used for convert

12VAC to 12VDC voltage.

Ch. – 3 Circuit Diagram with Explanation of Each Block

3.1 Circuit Diagram

Circuit diagram of Automatic LED Emergency light is as below:

FIG. 3.1 Circuit Diagram

3.2 Operation of circuit Diagram

The step down transformer and the diode bridge rectifier steps down and convert the high AC (in the range of 110V or 230V) voltage to low (12V) DC voltage.

The diode D5 prevents the battery charge from flowing back, it acts as a freewheeling diode too.

In the presence of electricity, the relay contact connects the NO (Normally Open) terminal to battery. Thus battery charges during this time.

Use Green LED as the charging indicator which glows when the emergency light battery is charging.

When supply failure occurs, relay connects the NC (Normally Closed) terminal to the battery.

The LED arrays are connected to NC terminal, thus they glow by using the charge stored in the battery.
