How to Build a Temperature Switch Using Thermistor & Relay in Proteus | Thermal Control Circuit
This video demonstrates a temperature-controlled switch circuit using a thermistor (RT1) and transistor-based relay driver in Proteus Software. The circuit automatically activates a 9V motor when the ambient temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold, ideal for applications like cooling systems or overheating protection.
Key Features:
Thermistor (RT1): Detects temperature changes and adjusts resistance accordingly (resistance decreases as temperature rises).
Transistor Pair (Q1/Q2): Amplifies the thermistor signal to drive the relay coil.
Relay (RL1): Switches the 9V motor on/off based on temperature.
Adjustable Threshold: Use RV1 to set the temperature limit (e.g., 12°C as shown in the simulation).
Flyback Diode (D1): Protects transistors from voltage spikes during relay switching.
How It Works:
Temperature Sensing:
RT1’s resistance drops as temperature increases → Voltage divider (R1 + RT1) sends a higher voltage to Q1’s base.
Transistor Amplification:
Q1 turns on → Activates Q2 → Relay coil energizes → Motor turns ON.
Threshold Adjustment:
RV1 fine-tunes the temperature at which the motor activates (e.g., 12°C in this simulation).
