1. What are the main uses of TRIACs?
TRIACs are commonly used in phase control applications like light dimmers, motor speed controls, and heaters, as well as in domestic appliances where bidirectional AC control is needed.
-
2. What are the limitations of TRIACs?
TRIACs are less efficient for high-power or complex control systems due to asymmetric triggering and potential noise issues. They are more suited to low-to-medium power applications.
-
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.
