1. What is a TRIAC, and how does it differ from an SCR?
A TRIAC is a bidirectional device that can control AC power, effectively working as two SCRs in parallel but in opposite directions. Unlike an SCR, which only conducts in one direction, a TRIAC operates in both directions, making it ideal for AC applications.
-
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. How does dv/dt affect TRIAC performance?
A high rate of voltage change (dv/dt) across the TRIAC can unintentionally trigger it. Snubber circuits are used to limit dv/dt and ensure reliable operation.
