great explanation. I tried phase control for motor speed control. I have had issues of resistor burning from current limiting resistor on the A.C side.

we use moc3031 to control the speed of fan and thee output was not stable do you think the delay effects on the output?

Hi, thanks for your video How the triac work to deliver constant voltage on a smart switch without neutral ? (With capacitor on the bulb) Do you have a schematic ?

Hello Sir, What's the use of R1 (10K) connected across GATE and GND ? How is the values for R1, R2 and R3 resistors are calculated ? Helpful video BTW. Thanks :)

Lewis, this was most helpful thank you for the video. I have a question I was going to use a MOC 3031 connected to a an arduino to run a lawn sprinkler. The sprinkler valve is on a 24VAC circuit at about 225 ma. From what I see this should work, can you confirm this? Or is there a better approach? Thanks

By it self the MOC3031 won't carry the current.

Hello Mr Lewis, If i want to control a single phased motor which has three wires. How should i connect the live, neutral and ground?

@LewisLoflin 7 жыл бұрын

The triac is connected to the "live" the neutral and ground are connected as usual.

Is the MOC 3043 turning off in AC because of the low spot or reversal of the current? And staying on in DC because there is none? And so these optocouplers would not work in anything other than single phase? Thanks

@LewisLoflin 6 жыл бұрын

It turn off when the voltage goes to zero.

MOC 3041 or 63 with traic are quite old technology. Is there something better solution, available for soild State relay? Traic has good chance of failure. I am looking for some better IC with zero cross detector and with good protection. Please guide me.

Hi Lewis, How do we protect the above TRIAC based circuit from AC short circuit ? Will Snubber circuit work in that case ?

A snubber won't help with a short. Use a fuse.

In the H1 1CX circuits could you explain how the resistor on the gate works? I don't understand how it can do anything because it's not appearing to complete a circuit. Thanks

@LewisLoflin 5 жыл бұрын

That controls the gate sensitivity. Without it it turns on all the time. I used 47K myself.

While I'd prefer to just buy a random switch SSR relays for my project, comparedd to ZCD SSRs they're so damn expensive (and rare) that I'd rather try my luck with TRIACs. Thanks for such detailed explanation.

excellent video. can i connect 2 or 3 TRIAC in parallel to drive more powerfull loads ??? i need a optotriac to each TRIAC ??? thanks

@LewisLoflin 4 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't. Try paralleling 2-3 separate circuits. Yes you need an optocoupler for each circuit.

@LewisLoflin 2 жыл бұрын

You can only test the input LED maybe if the DVM can check LEDs. You can only check if the photo triac is shorted. It should read open.

sorry sir, why we can't use TRIAC for DC ? do you suggest Relay than Triac when we use DC?

@LewisLoflin 7 жыл бұрын

With DC once the triac is turned in with DC it will not turn off unless the DC is disconnected.

Thanks, interesting video... I found some SSR which can control the phase based on input voltage (0/1-10V | 0 - 5V) or current 4-20mA ... How does these work and can these be used as dimmer for regular lightbulbs AND dimmable LED drivers... In the specs I could connect resistive and capacitive loads and simple cut the phase. These SSRS could be very interesting for my home automation and simply hook them to an Arduino pwm and simple RC. Or do you have better ways to create a steady but varying voltage using Arduino?

Hello sir, How can we protect TRIAC From high current OR Overload ?

@LewisLoflin 7 жыл бұрын

Use a triac with specs above what is needed. If you need 3 amps use a 10 amp. A dead short circuit will wipe out anything. If this was DC which you can't use with a triac use a current limiter. How about a circuit breaker?

A triac can be thought of as a solid state AC switch. Apply a small current to the gate it turns on.

I really dislike schematic representation where input is on the right and the circuit on the left, with no clear separation between input hot/live and the output live wire. Makes schematics hard to read and it is even worse for understanding what the hell it does.
