Power Electronics Lecture-8 TRIAC & DIAC Dr. Imtiaz Hussain Assistant Professor email: [email protected] URL :http://imtiazhussainkalwar.weebly.com/ 1 TRIAC (Triode for Alternating Current) • The major drawback of an SCR is that it can conduct current only in one direction. • In AC systems it is often desirable to control both +ve and –ve half cycles. • For this purpose a TRIAC is used. 2 TRIAC (Triode for Alternating Current) • Triac is a three terminal five layer semiconductor switching device that can control flow of current of an ac load. • Three terminals are designated as Main terminal 1 (MT1), Main Terminal 2 (MT2) and Gate (G). 3 TRIAC Packages 4 TRIAC (Triode for Alternating Current) • Following point may be noted about the triac. 1. The triac can conduct current (with proper gate current) regardless of the polarity of the main terminals. 2. A triac can be turned on either with a positive or negative voltage at the gate terminal. 3. Like the SCR once the triac is fired into conduction, the gate lose all control. The triac can be turned off by reducing the circuit current to the value of holding current. 4. The main disadvantage of triacs of SCRs is that triacs have considerably lower current handling capabilities. Most triac are available in ratings of less than 40A at voltages up to 600V. 5 Triac Operation 6 Triac Characteristics • V-I characteristics of triac in the 1st and 3rd quadrants are essentially identical to those of an SCR in 1st quadrant. • Triac can be operated with either positive of negative gate control voltage. But in normal operation usually the gate voltage is positive in 1st quaint and –ve in 3rd quadrant. 7 Triac Phase Control Circuit 8 Triac Applications High Power Lamp Switch Change over of Transformer Taps 9 Example-1 • The triac shown in following figure can be triggered by the gate triggering voltage 𝑉𝐺𝑇 = ±2𝑉. a) How will you trigger the triac by only +ve voltage? b) How will you trigger the triac by only -ve voltage? 10 Example-1 • Solution a) How will you trigger the triac by only +ve voltage? 11 Example-1 • Solution b) How will you trigger the triac by only -ve voltage? 12 Triac Gate Control Circuits • RC triggering Circuit 13 Triac Gate Control Circuits • Double RC triggering Circuit 14 Triac Gate Control Circuits • Break over device in triggering Circuit 15 Triac Gate Control Circuits • UJT triggering Circuit 16 Triac Gate Control Circuits • UJT triggering Circuit 17 DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current) • A Diac is a two terminal three layer bidirectional device which can be switched from its OFF state to ON state for either polarity of applied voltage. 18 DIAC Packages 19 DIAC Characteristics 20 DIAC Applications • Diacs are used primarily for triggering of triacs. • Some of the circuit applications of diac are – Lamp Dimmer – Heat Control 21 DIAC Applications – Lamp Dimmer 22 DIAC Applications – Heat Control 23 Example-2 • A small gate triggering voltage 𝑉𝐺𝑇 = ±2𝑉 is required to fire a triac.
