im planning to use this tl431's as overvoltage protection on agm/lead acid batteries ..and wonder if theyll cause a problem.. i mean adjust it to 14.5 volts and connect outpit/leak to transistor/mofset therere after it reaches 14.5/max voltage agm batterues it will swith on a lef or something else to waste excess woltage thats going tocause pwercharge... in theory this seems like going to work ;)

If you hooked this (or similar) circuit up to a battery in order to protect it from draining too low, would this protection circuit drain the battery much faster? By that I mean, will the circuit itself consume a lot of energy? I'm asking because I was thinking of hooking something up to a 12v solar battery in my vehicle. It sounds like a very good idea to set up a circuit similar to what you present in the video in order to keep from ruining the battery. However, if the protection circuit itself is eating a ton of juice then maybe it isn't a good solution since it would significantly reduce how long said device could run.

Hi Lewis, many thanks for the educational videos. Please can I ask a couple of questions: is the 9.3v at base of Q1 defined by the base-emitter drop (ie 10v - 0.7v) or by the set-point of the TL431A? Secondly, why would there be roughly 5-6mA going through the 330r resistor? I calculate Vdrop / Resistance = (10-9.3) / 330 = circa 2mA. Thanks again, Sean

Having R1 adjustable is generally bad practice especially for a beginner. Sure, it has to be done to get down to 2.5V but there is a risk. Not much over 2.5V the reference pin starts conducting heavily and begins to destroy the 431 when it gets over 10ma. Good design can prevent this by the proper selection of resistors to prevent that in any case. It is quite easy for a beginner to destroy one should the load be removed. A resistor between the wiper and the reference pin to limit current might be appropriate for a beginner.

@@LewisLoflin I will try use on practice shunt regulator... I want to charge Ni-Zn accumulator (nominal 1.6V, charge 1.9V ) by 4V solar panel. I find TLV431 with Vfb 1.25V, but current limit is low, so I need PNP transistor to conduct more current than this IC. So I need hold (1.9+0.2 Schottky diode ) 2.1 V. As I know solar panels are not scary for short circuit, only external heat decries efficiency. P.S. for this task (shunt external voltages) I can use few, serial connected, ordinary diodes, but I want try some precision way

What happens if the input voltage drops? Will this effect the output current? even if there is still enough excess current for the transistor?
@dedskin1
2 жыл бұрын
if the input drops , so will the drive voltage for TL431 witch will then shut the transistor off maintaining your 10V say , if it is 10V . Now if voltage drops below 10V plus voltage drop of all additional circuitry you will lose the output voltage . Shunt regulators work only if the voltage is higher on the input then required by the load . For situations where you need higher voltage on the output then input , you use DC to DC boost converters / regulators . They have their own set of problems such as noise etc.. but there is no perfect solution anyways .

does the voltage divider (R1 & R2) needs to be behind Rin? ... like in the drawing. I used the circuit to create 5V from 12V without Rin and it seams to work fine and the load is neglectable, although the output is lower than calculated.
@LewisLoflin

It can't work without Rin because that drops the excess voltage. I don't know what you mean by " create 5V from 12V" because this is a current, not a voltage regulator. The output voltage is the load resistance times the input current or R*I.

@LewisLoflin
Жыл бұрын
As the load draws more current, the overall available current and voltage drop. That is detected by R1/R2 voltage divider, which allows the TL431 to change its current draw. That changes the voltage drop across R3, changes the current through Q1.

Most of the remaining current will pass through Q1, as it has no current resistance. Thus, the Q1 must be over scaled to support all the remaining current when there is no load connected to the circuit.

In this particular case ( 8:52), it seems that the transistor is useless since the TL431 can handle up to 150 mA, and we will have less than that: 300 mA total, 10 V/44000 Ohm = 0.2 mA through the tension divider, 167 mA through the lamp, 133 mA left, max, through the TL431. BUT the transistor is required if the lamp is ... not there (burn out, open circuit) since then, without it, the 300 mA will have to go through the TL431 and that is the double of what it is safe for it.
