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 (MT 1), Main Terminal 2 (MT 2) and Gate (G). 3

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 40 A at voltages up to 600 V. 5
Triac Operation 6
Triac Characteristics • V-I characteristics of triac in the 1 st and 3 rd quadrants are essentially identical to those of an SCR in 1 st quadrant. • Triac can be operated with either positive of negative gate control voltage. But in normal operation usually the gate voltage is positive in 1 st quaint and –ve in 3 rd quadrant. 7
