Triac working and simple explanation. By Yuvi - Study Point


Hey everyone, today we are going to learn about Triac in a simple or easy way.
So, without wasting any time lets get started.

What is Triac?
  • Triac is a semiconductor device which is widely used in switching applications & power controls.
  • In triac the SCR'S are connected in inverse parallel.
  • I have shown and elaborated the basic structure, electrical equivalent circuit & schematic symbol of the triac in my lecture whose link and video is given in the ending.
  • Now, let's start learning about triac by first knowing its introduction.
Introduction & information about TRIAC.
  • Traic is a three-terminal A.C switch which triggers into conduction mode when we apply low energy signal in its gate terminal.  
  • And how triac is different from SCR? 
How TRIAC differs from an SCR?
  • Let's study about it, SCR will conduct only in one direction when it gets turned on but Triac can conduct in either direction in the same circuit when it is turned on.
  • And triac can be triggered into conduction mode by a positive or negative gate signal but for the SCR the cathode is kept at negative and the anode at positive. 
  • Triac is a three-terminal, four-layer, bidirectional semiconductor device which controls the A.C power.
  • But SCR controls the D.C power or we can say that it controls the forward-biased half cycles of A.C in a load.
  • And because of Triac's bidirectional properties, it is mostly used in the power electronics field for control purpose.
What does TRIAC mean?
  • Triac means triode for alternating current or we can say that Tri indicates the three-terminal because Triac is a three-terminal device and A.C indicates that the device can control the alternating current or can conduct in either direction.
  • And the Triac's which has a rating of 16 kW are mostly available in the market.
  • If you want further more explanation about the Triac with its construction, working, etc. Then please go and check out my channel and this video.

NBFM & WBFM (Narrow band frequency modulation & Wide band frequency modulation) simple explanation. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, today we are going to learn about NBFM & WBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation & Wideband frequency modulation) in simple or easy way. So, without wasting any time lets get started. The information about NBFM & WBFM When the spectrum's efficiency is important or it is required then we use NBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation) is used.  But when better signal quality is required or when it is important then we use WBFM (Wideband frequency modulation). The term NBFM is used for those applications where the modulation index is less than or equal to 1. And the term WBFM is used for those applications where the modulation index is greater than or equal to 1. Now, let's see more difference between Narrow band frequency modulation(NBFM) and Wideband frequency modulation(WBFM). The term narrow-band and wide-band refer to the actual radio channel bandwidth. The purpose or advantage of using NBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation) The purpo...

Corona effect in transmission lines.| Explanation by Yuvi - Study Point

You all have heard about the Corona effect in transmission lines, now understand it in a simple way. This effect is a phenomenon which is associated with all transmission lines. At certain conditions, the electric field closer or near the energized conductors or components produces a tiny electric discharge or we can say corona which causes the surrounding air to ionize. And due to this ionization of surrounding air molecules of conductors, a luminous glow with hissing noise is produced which is known as Corona effect. Between the transmission lines, air act as a dielectric medium or we can say that air act as an insulator between current-carrying conductors. Between the conductors, voltage induces and if this voltage is of alternating nature then charging current will flow between the conductors. And the voltage of this transmission line and electric field intensity increases because of this charging conductor. There is a predetermined value of the electric field inten...

Difference between Alternator and Generator. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, today we are going to see the simple difference between Alternator and Generator. So, without wasting any time lets get started. Alternator   An alternator is a machine that converts mechanical energy from a prime mover into the A.C electrical power at a specific frequency and voltage. Alternator induces an alternating current. The input supply in the alternator is taken from the stator.  The alternator has a variable output e.m.f. The alternator is smaller in size as compared to the generator and that's why it requires less space as compared to the generator. The output of the alternator is higher than the generator. The alternator has a wide range of rotation per minute (RPM). The armature of an alternator is stationary which means in an alternator, electricity is produced when the magnetic field spins inside the stator (winding of wire).    The alternator has a rotating magnetic field. A dead battery is can't be charged by an alterna...
