AC Regulators Using Triac Anti Parallel Thyristor
Product Code : JA-PET-1432
The AC regulator using TRIAC and anti-parallel thyristors trainer compares three ways of controlling AC power: a TRIAC, two thyristors connected in anti-parallel, and a TRIAC with a DIAC and an R-C triggering circuit. A UJT, a 1:1:1 pulse transformer and a firing-angle potentiometer are built in, with a 230 V AC, 50 W isolated transformer and a 40 W bulb (SKU JA-PET-1432).

Frequently asked questions
Which AC regulator circuits can be built?
Three: a TRIAC regulator, an anti-parallel thyristor regulator and a TRIAC-DIAC regulator with R-C triggering.
Which devices are fitted?
Two SCRs, a TRIAC, a DIAC and a UJT, with a 1:1:1 pulse transformer.
Can the load be varied?
Yes. One of the two potentiometers varies the load; the other controls the UJT firing angle.
