Triac A.C. Line Switching

Power Electronic Training Board has been designed specifically to study various switching techniques of TRIAC - a bidirectional silicon controlled switch. The phase control applications of TRIAC are included in another board order Code 46521. Practical experience on this board carries great educative value for Science and Engineering Students.

Object:

• Study of TRIAC as line triggered A.C. power switch
• Study of TRIAC as D.C. triggered A.C. power switch
• Study of TRIAC as self latching line switch
• Study of TRIAC as UJT triggered A.C. power switch
• Study of TRIAC as UJT triggered A.C. power switch with external transistor control from transducer

Features:

The board consists of the following built in parts:

• An isolation transformer 230VA.C. 250mA. This protects external instruments from damage if they are not isolated
