 Use of TRIAC

• TRIAC can be used as follows:

– 1) As a high power lamp switch.

– 2) Electronic change over of transformer taps.

– 3) Light dimmer

– 4) speed controls for electric fans and other electric motors

– 5) modern computerized control circuits

– 6) For minimizing radio interference

DIAC characteristics
 Use of DIAC

• In general the DIAC is used to triggering the TRIAC because the

triggering characteristic of TRIAC is nonsymmetrical.

• The other applications are:

– 1) Counters, register and timing circuits of computers,

– 2) pulse generator,

– 3) voltage sensors,

– 4) oscillators

– 5) Proximity sensor circuit etc.
