Triac 120 volt circuit

Well done.! Just need to make a diac and add a capacitor in the gate circuit and you have a full dimmer control. Really good.

Thanks! I'll put those in. I never knew the purpose of a Diac.

Thanks! That helps.

Have ago at trying to give your diac a trigger voltage, let's say 30v then once triggered have a negative voltage let's say 15v and remain at this until the sine wave drops below this at which point it resets to the 30v trigger again ready to repeat on the next cycle. This will help tremendously. But really well done sofar.

Firing angle of 45° is rather poor. Realy need some "diac'n cap" solution. ....actually as i remember 2 transistors circuits were exist to simulate triac :-) ....don't like them cuz compared to thyristor scr have more than poor ratings (that's why triacs are used only as costless light dimmers and cheap vacuum cleaner or kitchen mixer motor regulators.) ...oh i forgot to say that they have for many years leading unbeatable title of world champs in asppects of beign worst case of emi radiation element, strongest possible noise generation and power factor coruptors. I will bet than use of this element in consumer electronics will be strictly forbiden within few years.making them obsolete.

Life wood be a lot easier if these basic elements were included in the simulator.

Mosfets are rapidly becoming the switch of choice because of their low on losses but are a bit more difficult to switch hard and fast efficiently but new drivers are making some changes to this hence their growing use as diodes in smp rectifiers.

Triacs can be quite if a good snubber network is used but yes you are right.

True. Lol. :)

Nice. And yeah mos can be as efficient as a switch. I'd love to see more mosfet drivers on here!

Mosfets are very efficient, but slow and they get damaged from static.

hi bro u prob know how to make circuit to answer to shake?? tnx for answer
