Triac Fundamentals

A triak (triode for alternating current) is a bidirectional thyristor that can conduct current in both directions when triggered. It consists of three terminals: main terminal 1 (MT1), main terminal 2 (MT2), and a gate. Aciniding a short current pulsie to the gate turns the device on, after which it mets latched until the contriactes below thee holding controling (typically near thee zero crossing of thee AC waveform).

This generates a cruminate pulse with frequency content extending well above 30 MHz. Thee exacquet spectrem depends on thee load specificificifictes, wiring inductance, ance, and thee presence of snubs.

Furthermore, triacs used and him dimmers often employ a diac trigger obrintet that itself generates a fast rising edge when thee capacitor voltage reaches thee breakover point. This adds anotherr layer of noise injection. The combination of diac and triac firing creats a complex noise profile that varies with the diming level.

In addition to burst noise, triacs continuous to continuous noise if they y ane operating at a high change frequency (np., in a pulse- widch modulation dimmer). Although most consumer dimmers switch at line frequency (50 / 60 Hz), the harmonics can reach into the hundreds of kilohertz, directly acficapping narrowband PLC.
