Current Reversal

09/21/2012 3:14 AM

Dear all,

I have a general discussion.
How is it possible to block the current returning back in a circuit.?
I have tried to block current using diode combination, unfortunately it didn't work out.
Some one kindly help me out.
Thank you.

How about posting a circuit diagram?

Ensure all your wiring and accessories are level, that will stop the power running back.

If you want a sensible answer give some details.

Place a switch in between the source and the load and turn the switch off.

Given the limited data you gave us, that is the only way to do it. Besides, if you stop current returning from a load in a circuit, you do realize you no longer have a circuit?

I am sure there is more to your question. A real answer needs a real question.
