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 ...

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 ...

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.

AC switches are silicon devices that control AC loads directly connected to the AC mains. This means that the driving reference terminal of the AC switch can be connected to the Line potential. This ...

"Implemented an Arduino UNO-driven AC light dimmer utilizing TRIAC technology, showcasing adeptness in microcontroller programming and hardware integration for dynamic control of lighting intensity." ...

Several different technologies and designs are available among solid-state switches today. The major families are the standard Triacs (triode for alternating current), the snubberless Triacs, and the ...

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 ...

Abstract: Direct AC LED drivers have advantages over conventional LED drivers in size and cost because of no need for bulky and expensive inductive components. However, none of conventional direct AC ...

When cruyising the internet for Triac switches, you may have come across a large diversion in the value of the gate resistor value. My choice usually is to take the lowest value that will still ...
