Normally, for standard 220V AC household projects, a single 600V or 800V TRIAC is more than enough. But what if you are working with a very high voltage line, like 1000V AC? A single common TRIAC will immediately burn and short circuit because it cannot handle that much voltage stress. To solve this, we can […]

How to Connect Triacs in Parallel for High Current Loads: Circuit Diagram
Sometimes we make electronic circuit designs, and then we see that one single TRIAC cannot take all the big current of a very heavy load. This heavy load can be a huge heater, a big motor, or too many lights. In this condition, we get a simple idea. We think that we can connect two […]
How to Understand and Use white LEDs – Datasheet
