For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the ...

When choosing a switch to use in an electrical design project, there is a perception that it is possible to use any switch, provided its current rating is greater than the maximum load in the circuit.

This AC power switch circuit senses the presence of AC current in one outlet of a multi-outlet power strip and switches power to the remaining outlet(s). It utilizes a current transformer, single ...

Efficient AC usage involves considering factors like standby mode, power consumption, efficiency, and optimal performance through temperature adjustments and maintenance. Making informed choices ...

Several different technologies and designs are available among solid-state switches today. The major families are the standard Triacs (triode for alternating current), the snubberless Triacs, and the ...

For a company yet to release a commercial product, the claim that said company will “disrupt the global electrical and powered products industries” is nothing short of lofty. And yet this is the exact ...

Groomed for controlling appliance motors, the latest-generation ACST4, ACST6, and ACST8 ac switches include a power triac delivering enhanced commutation performance to turn the motor off without ...

[SaltyPuglord] needed a solid state relay for a project. We’d have just bought one, but he decided to design his own in LTSpice. Along the way he made the video below, which is pretty informative and ...
