                      | What happens if I use a mosfet for Q1 because I have failed to get a triac in a TO-247AC package and I wanted to use IRF64N instead. Thanks |

                      | Other changes will be necessary to use a MOSFET. They have totally different characteristics then TRIACs. Can you not find a suitable substitute for this TRIAC? The exact characteristics aren't critical, as long as the gate current and voltages are the same. |

                      | My problem is that these small BT139 cant stand the heat and they necessitate to use a very big and bulky heat sink which is not good. I used RFP150N as D1 by connecting together its gate and source terminals and it stands that heat because they are both on the same heat sink. So I would like to use the same mosfet for Q1 because it has the ability to stand the heat. Please help me redraw the circuit to show the extra parts that would enable to use a mosfet in place of Q1. Thanks Dennis

                      | hi aaron,pls could you help me a 12v charger circuit for my dcmotor powered generator.the charger will pick its ac from the gen ac output when gen is on and at the same time charging the battery without affecting the ac output of the gen.my battery is a 40a/h lead acid batt.you can reply via my e-mail [yakitech@yahoo.com]URGENT PLS.thanks |

                      | You cannot use a battery to power a generator, and then use the generator's output to charge it. |

                      | Why are you getting so much heat from the circuit? What are you charging? |

                      | Hey, My charger also has an output voltage (without load) of 8Volts.
 Do you know whats wrong? When charging, the is no problem, but as you said before, without load it should be 12.
 
 PS: I think the battery is now "broken", i tested previously and it had 11.9 volts, vou it has 8.5. All components are the ones on the page, no equivalent ones were used.
 
 BTW thanks for all these circuits! Theyre very usefull.

                      | Could you tell me what happens if T1 secondary voltage will be 18 V AC ? What will be the battery charging voltage ? Should I change the resistors ? |

                      | If T1 is a transformer rated at 12V, then the output voltage will be higher when it is not under load. 18V is probably reasonable. |
