Electric vehicles promise advantages for the environment in terms of reducing local emissions along with advantages to the hip-pocket in respect to running costs. Unfortunately at this stage of the ...

It’s a wonderful thing to see a clever hack repair instead of disposing of a product. The best repair approach is finding exact replacement components, but sometimes exact components can’t be sourced ...

Is there a Triac in your future? Maybe — if your conscience has evolved to a deep shade of green and you have $25,000 to spare on a locally manufactured, three-wheeled gasless electric vehicle with a ...

Triacs are bidirectional ac switches that can control loads with currents as high as 25A rms at voltages as high as 600V. They find wide use in motor-speed, heater, and incandescent-lamp controls.

Le Triac est un composant électronique équivalent à la mise en parallèle de deux thyristors montés tête-bêche (l'anode de l'un serait reliée à la cathode de l'autre, les gâchettes rèspectives étant, ...

Triacs are used to control ac mains loads in home appliances, and commercial and industrial equipment. In the majority of applications, the triac will dissipate sufficient power to make thermal ...

Some curious vehicles have emerged on the electric vehicle market over the years, and few have been more curious than the Triac. We first wrote about the Triac three-wheel electric vehicle back in ...

Check out this link for On Semiconductor’s datasheet for a line of “Zero-Cross Optocoupled Triac Drivers.” The ability to zero-cross when turning on AC line voltage to some loads may be advantageous.

The LM3445 from National Semiconductor enables a full 100:1 range of offline, uniform, flicker-free dimming for high-brightness LEDs with a conventional TRIAC forward or reverse phase-control wall ...
