Mains clearance in a TRIAC driver
A TRIAC driver board designed for use in a reflow toaster oven project, which operates at mains voltages. According to IPC-2221, U.S. mains voltages necessitate a clearance of 0.4mm when coated with solder mask. Several questions arise: Is it permissible...
Soft Start For Switching Power Supply
A switching power supply with an output voltage significantly lower than its input voltage exhibits an interesting characteristic: the current drawn by the supply is less than its output current. However, the input power (UI) is greater than the output...
TRIAC dimmer light circuit with dual time constant
To address the lag and light transition issues, a Triac dimming light circuit featuring a dual time constant can be employed. This circuit enhances the resistor-capacitor network formed by R3 and C2. The reduced charge on capacitor C1 can be...
Small Triac Switch
To control floodlights using an Arduino, the small switch circuits designed around a 39MF22 were insufficient to manage the required current.
To effectively switch floodlights with an Arduino, a more robust circuit design is essential. The initial approach using the 39MF22,...
simple TRIAC Light Dimmer
This little circuit can be used to dim lights up to about 350 watts. It uses a simple, standard TRIAC circuit that, in my experience, generates very little heat. Please note that this circuit cannot be used with fluorescent lights....
soft start circuit
A simple soft start circuit is being developed that initially routes power through a resistor or thermistor before activating the main load.
The soft start circuit is designed to gradually increase the power supplied to a load, thereby minimizing inrush current...
Triac temperature sensitive heater control
Triac temperature-sensitive heater control. This circuit can be modified to control a motor with a constant load. While the circuit is designed for heating applications, it can also be adapted for cooling by interchanging RT and R2 (courtesy of Motorola...
Triac zero-point switch
During the initial phase of the positive half-cycle, the voltage rises rapidly from zero, resulting in a significant current flowing into capacitor C2. This current passes through resistors R4 and diodes D3 and D4, reaching the gate of TRIAC Q2,...
ac Validate Triac circuit
The heatsink on the triac is somewhat unclear. A maximum value of 10°C/W has been calculated, which raises concerns. The calculation is as follows: (maximum temperature - room temperature) / (maximum on-stage voltage * (milliamps / voltage) - junction-to-base thermal...
