He then replaced the BT136 triac lamp switch with a solid state relay, conveniently isolating the electronics from mains power. He re-purposed the unit’s push buttons using the M2tklib ...

This is exactly what [Daniel Jose Viana] did when his 110 volt Dremel tool popped its TRIAC after he plugged it into a 220 volt outlet. [Daniel] knew how the TRIAC functioned in the circuit and ...

Description: The TRIAC may be gate triggered from a blocking to conduction state for either polarity of applied voltage and is designed for AC switching and phase control applications such as speed ...

This chapter describes how Zener diodes operate and what their typical applications are. The behavior of SCRs and triode alternating current switches (TRIACs) is discussed as are their typical ...
