1. How can flickering in TRIAC circuits be minimized?
Flickering can be addressed by proper circuit design, including snubber circuits to handle dv/dt issues and filtering to reduce noise and harmonics.
-
2. What precautions should be taken when using TRIACs with inductive loads?
Inductive loads can cause dv/dt turn-on issues. Adding a snubber circuit or using a zero-crossing detection mechanism can prevent premature triggering.
-
3. Why are TRIACs preferred in household electronics?
TRIACs are compact, cost-effective, and capable of handling bidirectional current, making them ideal for small, lightweight, and reliable household devices.
-
4. What are the key parameters to consider when selecting a TRIAC?
Important factors include voltage and current ratings, dv/dt capability, gate sensitivity, and application-specific requirements like power dissipation and thermal management.
