Automated USB-controlled Power Switch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Power for TV and set-top box (STB) is derived from a common switchboard. The switched-mode power supply (SMPS) of the TV continues to draw a small amount of power from the mains and the STB is not switched off when you switch off the remote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project presents a circuit that can control the main power of an LED TV and the DTH STB. It also protects the devices from harmful initial surges when the power comes back after a power failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicsforu.com\/electronics-projects\/hardware-diy\/automatic-usb-controlled-power-switch\">Automated USB-controlled Power Switch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"25-1-k-w-sine-wave-inverter\"><strong>25. 1kW Sine Wave Inverter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An inverter provides power backup for mains-based appliances in the event of a power failure.
