Understanding Triac Snubber Network Calculations

Last Updated on August 30, 2023 by Swagatam 2 Comments

controlling inductive load with triac

You may find electronic circuits that frequently utilize triacs to manage mains powered loads. However, these setups commonly feature an inconspicuous capacitor and resistor combination across the triac – a snubber network. The functions of these components are more intricate than they seem. Exploring snubbers and grasping basic triac theory is valuable. Triac Operation A […]

Understanding AC Circuit and Calculating AC Waveform

Last Updated on February 20, 2023 by Swagatam Leave a Comment

dc circuit and waveform

The sinusoidal waveform or sine wave is the most commonly used AC waveform in circuit theory. When a periodic AC waveform is produced by a voltage source, it creates an EMF that changes polarity at regular intervals, with the time it takes to complete one full reversal known as the waveform’s period. Direct current, also […]
