This is a Reduced Hysteresis Diac-Triac Phase/Power Control circuit. This circuit is used to control from 5% to 95% of full load power. This circuit can decrease the hysteresis effect to a reasonable region. It can be done because this circuit uses second RC phase-shift network. Beside that, the second RC phase-shift network also extends the range on control. This […]

Hysteresis in lamp dimmer or in other electric appliance might cause some trouble if you need a fine tuning, something like out of control. This is a circuit of Diac-Triac Phase/Power Control without Hysteresis. This circuit can eliminate the hysteresis effect. Here is the circuit: The initial condition of the timing capacitor is uniform because the (a) circuit reset timing […]

One easy way if load current is approximately 5 A or less is shown on figure below. The sensitive gate triac acts as a direct power switch controlled by TTL, HTL, CMOS, or integrated circuit operational amplifier. The triac can be activated by a timed pulse from the system’s logic from anywhere in the AC sinewave producing a phase-controlled load. […]

Silicon Diode for Alternating Current, SIDAC, is a multilayer silicon semiconductor switch. This component is triggered by voltage and can be operated as bidirectional swtch. Usually, this SIDAC is used in cheap high voltage power supply or ignition circuits. Figure below shows SIDAC block construction, schematic symbol and geometric construction : The SIDAC has leakage current(Idrm) less than 5 µA […]

Diode for alternating current is a trigger diode which conducts current only after the DIAC reach the breakdown voltage. The breakdown voltage of DIAC is 30 V. It has construction like an open base NPN transistor. The DIAC can be used in many application such as motor speed controls and light dimmers circuit. Figure below shows the DIAC block construction, […]

The diagram below shows us a simple block construction of an SCR (upper left) and its schematic diagram (upper right). The lower diagram shows us the operation of a PNPN device can best visualized as a specially coupled pair of transistor. When a proper gate signal is applied to the base of the NPN transistor, the connections between the two […]
