In our household, most of the appliances are powered from the AC supply such as Lights, TVs, and Fans, etc. We can turn ON/OFF them digitally if needed, using Arduino and Relays by building a Home ...

This triac control module is a project for everyone interested in power electronics. It also gives you an opportunity to learn a bit about hardware-level programming. We describe all the wonderful ...

In this video author will present the most important facts about a controllable diode, the thyristor. He will also build a small experimental circuit to control AC voltage with the help of a triac.

In Part 3 of the Power Electronics Course we’ll look at power electronics components such as SCT, TRIAC and BJT. As seen in previous articles, the high current flows through cables and high section ...

WARNING!! The circuit diagram discussed in this project is only for educational purposes. Be advised that working with 220V AC mains voltage requires extreme precaution and safety procedures should be ...

This universal triac controller circuit with optocoupler solves the problem that triacs have when functioning at low temperatures (triac needs higher gate current) by adding a transistor at the output ...

In this code, the design and implementation of a phase control using a TRIAC, an opto DIAC and an MCU to manage the power of a 100 ohms load is performed. The trigger pulses for the TRIAC have been ...

For DC it is much easier to control power using PWM where we use mosfets and can close or open it anytime. Howerver, for AC we have to deal with triacs. Triac also, has a gate to control it, but if ...

Check out this link for On Semiconductor’s datasheet for a line of “Zero-Cross Optocoupled Triac Drivers.” The ability to zero-cross when turning on AC line voltage to some loads may be advantageous.
