Optoisolators are a type of isolation element that utilizes a light emitting diode (LED) to transfer data between two circuits. The 4N36-V is an optoisolator specifically designed for AC power control applications. It uses a photovoltaic output transistor type optoisolator, which has the added benefit of providing optical isolation without concerning itself with the polarity of the input signals.

The working principle behind optoisolators is actually quite simple. An LED is used to transmit light from one circuit to the other while being electrically insulated, creating a physical and electrical barrier between the source of input and the output circuit. The LED light is passed through an oxidation layer, which is usually composed of either an epoxy resin or silicone, before it is transmitted to the other side. The light is then picked up by an optoelectronic device, typically a phototransistor, which outputs a current in response to the light stimulus.

In the case of the 4N36-V, the benefit of optical isolation is extended by the use of an additional photovoltaic output transistor. This transistor is used to directly control the voltage applied to the AC load by means of a potentiometer. The photovoltaic output is connected in such a way that it supplies the same base current to the load as would be supplied by the LED. By adjusting the potentiometer, the current and voltage used to power the AC load can be managed independently of the LED light source.

Optoisolators like the 4N36-V can be used for a variety of AC power applications, such as controlling motor speed, managing the intensity of a light source, or even controlling fan speed. They are also widely used in the industrial automation sector, for applications like switching between phases in a three-phase motor. Other industrial applications include controlling inductive loads, controlling secondary circuits of AC motor starters, and managing lighting intensity. These optoisolators can also be used in home automation applications, such as controlling power to a lamp, or dimming a light fixture.

Aside from providing a physical electrical isolation, optoisolators also offer many other advantages. The 4N36-V, for example, has high voltage and current ratings which make it suitable for most AC power control applications. Additionally, the use of a photovoltaic output transistor enables higher current ratings than conventional optoisolators while still providing the same level of optical isolation. Finally, the addition of a potentiometer in the design of the 4N36-V simplifies the task of setting up a circuit for different AC power requirements, since the voltage and current can be adjusted independently of one another.

In summary, the 4N36-V is an optoisolator specifically designed for AC power control applications. It utilizes a photovoltaic output transistor, which allows for higher current ratings and improved optical isolation, as well as a potentionmeter, which simplifies the process of setting up a circuit with different AC power requirements. It can be used for a variety of industrial and home automation applications, and offers many advantages, such as electrical isolation, high voltage and current ratings, and the ability to adjust voltage and current independently.
