Hi,
I'm a beginner in electronics and I'm trying to make an electrical fence charger for a school project, but I found a problem that I cannot solve, so I'm asking for help here.
I've got an IC555 timer that would make 1 second DC pulses on secondary transformer. I need 230v AC to power up the transformer.
My question is, how can I send those pulses, so that it activates the transformer, that is powered from 230v AC, or is that even possible?
I've attached an image that shows what I want to achieve. There is a transistor, but it doesn't work because of AC, so what can I put there instead?
