triac, the values of latching current (IL), holding current (IH) and gate trigger current (IGT) vary slightly between the different operating quadrants. In general, for any triac, the latching current is slightly higher in the second (MT2+, G-) quadrant than the other quadrants, whilst the gate trigger
16 wrz 2008 · TRIAC control circuits must be particularly well tuned to be both economical and applicable to inductive loads. The purpose of this document is to present different methods of TRIAC control with their applications and to analyze their relative advantages and disadvantages.
A triac can be regarded as a "bidirectional thyristor" because it conducts in both directions. For standard triacs, current flow in either direction between the main terminals MT1 and MT2 is initiated by a small signal current applied between MT1 and the gate terminal.
A TRIAC acts much like two SCRs connected back-to-back for bidirectional (AC) operation. TRIAC controls are more often seen in simple, low-power circuits than complex, high-power circuits. In large power control circuits, multiple SCRs tend to be favored.

The TRIAC. PDF Version. SCRs are unidirectional (one-way) current devices, making them useful for controlling DC only. If two SCRs are joined in back-to-back parallel fashion just like two Shockley diodes were joined together to form a DIAC, we have a new device known as the TRIAC: (Figure below)
7 cze 2021 · Triac couplers are photocouplers that have a triac output. They are commonly used for AC powered load switching applications. Triac couplers operate on AC power and differ from transistor couplers and IC couplers in several ways. This document explains the implications of differences in performance characteristics for circuit design.
