0 INTRODUCTION
Massive Dynamics, one of the most modern and efficient multi-purpose electronic company in
South East Asia is located strategically along busy sea lanes between the Far East and Europe
Trade on latitude 03 degree 16 N, longitude 113 degree 04 E on the north-east coast of
Sarawak, Malaysia.
Massive Dynamics has a total land of 120 hectares. Massive Dynamics was founded on
1978 in Malaysia. The company started with approximately RM 1.2 million. After mid 80s,
Dynamics launched its branches in Malaysia. 6 years later Massive Dynamics opened the
international branch.
In November 2005, Massive Dynamics employed more than 163,000 people. The
companys annual revenue in 2009 was almost $6.8 billion, with almost $ 2.3 billion in profit.
One of our companys products is overvoltage and undervoltage monitor which is a
device that functions to detect the overvoltage and undervoltage from any DC source. This
overvoltage and undervoltage monitor schematic circuit is a simple circuit which will light up the
LED when the voltage is over or lack. An alarm, visual for which the space is identified on the
main alarm panel will be activated when the voltage source is connected to the terminal.
Technically speaking, an over/undervoltage condition is reached when the voltage
exceeds/lags the nominal voltage by 10% for more than 1 minute. Both of these conditions
result in voltage that falls outside the acceptable power envelope as defined by the CBEMA
Curve pictured here.
When the voltage in a circuit or part of it is raised above its upper design limit, this is
known as overvoltage. These voltages are perhaps more risky, as under such conditions the
equipment may not get enough time to withstand the jolt and may be instantly burnt or damaged .
The conditions may be hazardous. Depending on its duration, the overvoltage event can be
transienta voltage spikeor permanent, leading to a power surge.
Undervoltage occurs when there is a decrease in the supply voltage to an electric
appliance below 90% of its nominal value for more than one minute. The compressor due to the
lack of sufficient voltage, will try to compensate by drawing heavy currents and may get
damaged if the situation persists.
The circuit provided low voltage and over voltage protection to connected electrical
assets. The part of under voltage circuit detect and warning by light up the LED when the voltage
is in a low condition. It also acts as a high voltage detector circuit and when attached to an
electrical system will warn you of detrimental high voltages or overvoltage.
In conclusion, the over voltage and under voltage tester sense both the levels of bad
voltages and cut the supply under such circumstances to save guard your precious electrical
gadgets. Though these circuits wont be able to stabilize the input voltage, even so may prove
very effective in providing total safety to your precious electrical home appliances against
dangerous input voltages.
2.0 THEORY
Undervoltage and overvoltage monitor is a device purposed to detect the undervoltage and
overvoltage from any electrical appliance. Refer to the schematics circuit, D1 and D2 are the
zener diodes, Q1 to Q3 are the transistors, LED 1 and LED 2 are the Light Emitting Diodes,
while R1 to R7 are the resistors of different resistance. When the value of the voltage has fulfill
the range as an undervoltage, the LED 1 will light up as a warning for the user to identify the low
voltage condition that may harm the electrical appliance. In contrast, LED 2 will light up when
the voltage fall in the range of overvoltage or high voltage that an electrical appliance can resists.
Although the monitor is the combination of undervoltage and overvoltage, but the circuit
of the undervoltage and overvoltage monitor can function individually and divided into 2 parts,
that is, undervoltage detector and overvoltage detector.
Referring to the figure, the circuit utilizes mainly two NPN transistors and a zener diode
to sense a low voltage or undervoltage. The value of breakdown voltage of zener diode D1,
Vz
will determine the value of undervoltage as D1 act as a voltage regulator. The transistors
are function as an amplifier which the circuit applied a multistage amplifiers. The output of
amplifier Q1 is the input to the next amplifier Q2. Thus, based on the theory of multistage
amplifiers circuit, the collector current of Q2 is equal to the base current of Q1.
I C 1=I B 2+ I R 3
V B 1=V CCV Z
V B 2=V CC( I R 3)
Where:
I C 1 = Collector current of transistor Q1
I B 2 = Base current of transistor Q2
I R 3 = Current across resistor R3
V B 1 = Base voltage of transistor Q1
V B 2 = Base voltage of transistor Q2
VZ
V CC
= Input voltage
While the resistors (R1, R2, R3) will resists the current flow in the circuit or act as fuse in the
circuit.
Most LED will light up when the value of voltage across the LED is equal as the forward
voltage of the corresponding LED,
Vf
transistor Q1 must be controlled carefully so that the value of voltage across LED 1 is equal to
the forward voltage
Vf
connected as the multistage amplifiers to amplify the voltage across the node. In the circuit, the
transistor Q1 functioned to amplify the voltage across resistor R3 while the other transistor Q2
amplified the voltage across resistor R1.
In order to calculate the undervoltage
V /V CC
circuit can be used. By applying the Kirchoff Voltage Law (KVL) at the input loop, formulae can
be constructed.
I B 1=
V CCV Z V B 1V BE
R1 R2
I C = I B
Where:
V Z = Breakdown voltage of zener diode D1
V B 1 = Base voltage of transistor Q1
V BE = Base-Emitter voltage of transistor Q1
I B 1 = Base current of transistor Q1
V CC = Undervoltage
As for the analysis of transistor Q2, formulas can be applied to calculate base current.
I B 2=
V CCV B 2V BEV f
R3 +( +1) R E
Where:
V B 2 = Base voltage of transistor Q2
V BE = Base-Emitter voltage of transistor Q2
I B 2 = Base current of transistor Q2
V CC = Undervoltage
V f = Forward voltage of LED 1
As for the overvoltage part, theory applied is similar as the undervoltage part which the
value of breakdown voltage of zener diode D2 controlled the value of overvoltage and the
resistors R5 to R7 function to resist the dangerous current flow. Besides, LED 2 will light up
when voltage across LED 2 is equal to its forward voltage,
Vf
However, different from the undervoltage part, the amplification applied is single
amplifier circuit that used only one transistor Q3. Thus, to calculate the value of overvoltage,
apply the KVL at input part and using DC analysis of transistor circuit theorem.
I B 3=
V CC V Z V BEV f
R 4 R5 + ( +1 ) R E
I C = I B
Where:
V Z = Breakdown voltage of zener diode D2
V f = Forward voltage of LED 2
V BE = Base-Emitter voltage of transistor Q3
I B 3 = Base current of transistor Q3
V CC = Overvoltage
3.0 METHODS
This circuit is specially design for detecting the undervoltage and overvoltage of any DC supply
connected to it. This can be applied most suitable in order to make sure the correct amount of DC
source is needed. It prevents the damage of components from overvoltage and making sure the

will be across the whole circuit. Which mean that the current will flow first to the zener diode.
While for the transistors, will be function as the amplifier in the circuit which amplify the current
and voltage. Thus, the transistors function to control the output power of the circuit by using its
terminal current. Last but not least, the resistors act as fuse to limit the current flow in the circuit,
so that the LED will not be spoiled by high or low voltage.
The tester can be function independently by undervoltage and overvoltage testers which
both part of the circuit are working in the same time when the input voltage was applied.

In order to produce a well functioned undervoltage and overvoltage tester, the main part is
choosing the components. After analysis of the circuit through formulas and decided the value of
undervoltage and overvoltage, we have came out to a decision to choose 1N4732A zener diodes
which have zener voltage or breakdown voltage of 3.5 4.0V. Besides, we have also chosen the
MPS3704 npn transistor where the collector current
IC
for the resistors, we have decided the value of each resistor by calculating the voltage and current
at each node using Kirchoff Voltage Law and Current Law. Value of the resistors has been
determined according to the current that flowing through the corresponding node.
12
To analyze the circuit, we have decided to use simulation software called NI Multisim
10.0 to design the circuit and simulate it to check whether the circuit can function or not.
Multisim can also be used to analyze the relationship between the zener diode with transistor and
between the zener voltage with the forward voltage of the LED.
Hardware of our product was consists of LED, resistors, npn transistors, zener diodes and
wire. We decided to use normal circuit board, which just need to solder the components to the
board in order to connect the circuit. The components that we found are basically bought from a
components selling store.
Process of the hardware production was mainly divided in the stages, that is, simulation,
modification of circuit and soldering of the circuit.

4.0 RESULTS/DISCUSSION
4.1 RESULTS
Based on the simulation results, the range of undervoltage is 4 5V, while the range of
overvoltage is 8 10V.
14
When the input voltage V1 is in the range of undervoltage, that is, 4V, the LED1 will
light up. Based on the simulation, Channel A is the green wire while channel B is the red wire.
As the results, the voltage across LED1 is equal to 1.66V which is the forward voltage of LED1.
Let
I R 3=83.045 A

Thus, the base current of transistor Q2,

When the input voltage V1 is in the range of overvoltage, where in the simulation is 9V.
The LED2 will light up as the voltage across Channel A is equal to the forward voltage of LED2,
that is, 1.66V.

4.2 ANALYSIS
17
At undervoltage stage, the current will first flow to the zener diode D1. Then, zener diode will
limit the voltage across the R1 and transistor Q1. As forward voltage of the zener diode D1 will
affect the value of base voltage of transistor Q1,
V B1
V B1
< 0.7V, the transistor Q1 will be off. According to the simulation result,
V B1
4.013nV.Thus, transistor Q1 was off and value of emitter and collector current of Q1 is nearly to
zero.
At this moment, the circuit will become single amplifier circuit as Q2 becomes the main
control device of the circuit. The value of collector current of transistor Q2 will determine the
voltage across the LED1.

I B 2=82.601 A
simulation and calculation result is 19% as the simulation consider the time base when the switch
is on. Thus, current value will be changed when the switch is on for a long time. As result, the
LED1 will light up when
I B2
I B2
I B3
became very small. Based on the result, the LED2 not lighted
19
up when undervoltage applied is because the voltage across the LED2 was 13.191mV, far less
than 1.66V.
When overvoltage (9V) was applied, the current will flow to the zener diode D2 and
voltage across the transistor Q3 will be limited by the zener voltage of 4.636V. Based on the
calculation, the voltage across the LED2 will be equal to its forward voltage 1.66V when base
current of transistor Q3 is 126.6A. Compare to the value found in the simulation (115.651A),
the value of
I B3
was close to the calculation value by different of 8.65%. Which mean the
voltage across the LED2 in the simulation is satisfied the condition which equal to its forward
voltage, 1.66V. Thus, LED2 will light up when
I B3
126.6A.
20
As for the undervoltage part, the voltage across the transistor Q2 was very small, where
V B2
equal to 22.928mV. The value of base voltage was less than 0.7V, thus transistor Q3 was
I B2
became very small and cause the voltage across the LED1 (13.191mV) less than forward
21
When 6V was applied, both LED were not light up. For the undervoltage part, the base
voltage of transistor Q2 (28.082mV) was less than 0.1V. Thus, transistor Q2 was off. This made
the base current
I B2
became 0A and
I E2
1.588V, which less than forward voltage, 1.66V that not satisfied the condition to light up LED1.
As for the overvoltage part, the value of base voltage of transistor Q3,
V B3
= 1.394V.
Transistor Q3 was on by value of base voltage greater than 0.7V. However, by using the
formulas,
I B3
was more than the range of current value that will allow the voltage across the
LED2 equal to 1.66V. Thus, the LED2 will not light up when 6V was applied.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS
Undervolatge and overvoltage monitor is a device functions to detect the low voltage or
undervoltage and high voltage or overvoltage of any DC sources. This product will warn the user
by light up the LED when the electrical appliance have reach undervoltage or overvoltage stage.
It is important to test the voltage of the electrical appliance as undervoltage and
overvoltage were a stage that harmful to electrical appliance. When the voltage supply is too low,
the electrical appliance will try to compensate by drawing heavy currents and may get damaged
if the situation persists. As for the high voltage, some components of the electrical appliance are
not get enough time to withstand the jolt and will be burnt or damaged.
Undervoltage and overvoltage monitor can be function individually, which divided into
undervoltage detector and overvoltage detector. The undervoltage detector applied multistage
amplifier circuit while overvoltage applied single amplifier circuit. The main control components
in the circuit were the zener diodes and npn transistor. The zener diode which acts as a voltage
regulator, limited the voltage across the circuit while transistor functioned to amplify the voltage
and current in the circuit. Thus, the value of zener voltage

will affect the value of undervoltage and overvoltage. In order to light up the
LED, voltage across the LED must be equal to the forward voltage of the LED,
The input of the circuit was the input voltage

the voltage across it and pass to transistor. The value of base voltage of the transistor will
determine whether the transistor is on (
base current of transistor

allow the
LED1 to light up when its reach 82.601A 98.5A. When input voltage falls in the range of
overvoltage, zener diode D2 limited the voltage across the circuit and the base current of
transistor Q3 reached 115.651A - 126.6A, which made the LED2 to light up when voltage
across LED equal to 1.66V. As for the input voltage in between the undervoltage and
overvoltage, both LED were not lighted up as the voltage across the LED less than 1.66V.
Undervoltage and overvoltage monitor can be used to sense low and high level of
dangerous voltage stages. It used to provide protection to your electrical appliance by warning
the user when condition satisfied. To improve the circuit by making the range between
undervolatge with overvoltage becomes wider, type of components like zener diode can be
changed according to its zener voltage value.
