Principle of proposed gate circuit

To drive the TRIAC in the 2nd and 3rd quadrants, a discharge capacitor is used as shown in

Figure 2.

Basic diagram of the triggering circuit

When the transistor Tr is switched off, capacitor C is charged through resistance R2 and

diode D. The diode is used to avoid a capacitor charging current through the TRIAC gate. A

Schottky diode could be used to keep the voltage drop level below the gate non trigger

voltage (VGD). When the TRIAC is triggered, Tr transistor is switched on, C is discharged

through R1 and Tr and a negative current flows through the TRIAC gate.

We have to consider different parameters to define all the components:

●

The TRIAC gate triggering current (IGT).

●

The time duration of the gate current pulse.

●

The TRIAC latching current (IL) especially for low rms current loads.
