Thyristors - TRIACs
BTA216X-600B is a type of Thyristors - TRIACs. Primary use of TRIACs is for switching or for phase control of current in AC circuits. This method of phase control helps in regulating power. In AC circuits, if the phase angle of a switching curve is varied, then the average current through it can be varied, helping in transforming the electrical power in accordance with the voltage and current.
Application fields
TRIACs have a few characteristics that make them suitable for a variety of applications. Firstly, they can operate in two directions, meaning they can both switch and regulate current flow in an AC circuit. As such, they are widely used in household appliances. Auto-transformer, light dimmer circuits, general motor controls and heating elements in various electric appliances are all applications that use TRIACs such as the BTA216X-600B. Due to the wide range of advantages they offer, they are used in a vast range of industries including home appliances, industrial automation control systems, telecommunications, automotive and aerospace, building automation and control systems, power electronics, medical systems and gaming platforms.
Working Principle
As previously stated, TRIACs are used for controlling the voltage or current in an AC circuit, depending on the phase angle setting of the firing circuit of the TRIAC. The functioning of BTA216X-600B can be explained by the working of any other TRIAC. Inside these components, there are two independent thyristors that are connected together in inverse parallel configuration by a common gate terminal. When the gate terminal receives a current, the two thyristors are turned on and start conducting simultaneously in two directions. As a result, current can flow through the device in both directions. In order to turn it off, the gate current needs to flow in opposite direction to the current in main part of the circuit, which would turn off the TRIAC. When the gate current is cut off, the TRIAC stops conducting. As the current is switched off and on by the electronic gate circuit, this is typically referred to as \'controlling\'.
In conclusion, Thyristors – TRIACs, such as BTA216X-600B, are used for controlling or switching of current in an AC circuit. As a result, the electrical power can be transformed in accordance with voltage and current. Its application range is extremely diversified and these components can be found in a vast range of industries. TRIACs work by connecting two inverse parallel thyristors with a common gate terminal. When the gate terminal is receiving current, the device starts conducting and when the gate current is cut off, it stops conducting.
