A TRIAC is a solid state device that turns on at a specified phase angle in the AC wave form and then turns off at the next zero-crossing. It also works backward, in that you can turn it on on the negative going phase with a negative going pulse on the gate. By varying the phase angle of the turn-on point, you can provide varying voltages, ranging from full line voltage to a small fraction of the line voltage. By varying the voltage to a motor, you can thus vary the power, optimizing it for power factor and/or speed.
Often there is another TRIAC, one with two terminals, called a DIAC, in series with the gate of the TRIAC. This allows you to balance the firing points, with the effect of balancing the phase voltages for both the plus and the minus side. This reduces DC bias on the line.

How can a relay be used to run a 9V electric motor?
A relay cannot be used to power a motor. It can be used to control the motor by wiring the motor circuit in series with the relay contacts.
What is vf speed control?
It is used for sensorless motor control. With vf speed control u can control speed of any induction motor.
A Triac is used to switch?
Large a.c. currents with a small trigger signal.
How to control speed of dc motor using microprocessor 8085?
Here the DC motor is controlled by the microprocessor (8085). The kit used was dynalog 8085 kit. The DC motor is very difficult to control unlike the stepper motor, which can be controlled by giving the appropriate CONTROL WORD. By knowing the DC motor theory we know the different methods used to control the motor, the most primitive and the once upon a time the most popularly method was WARDLEONARD motor speed control, but this had many disadvantage, so the world of Electronics brought in the thyristor control, which were very flexible and can be employed to use AC instead of DC cause they had a inbuilt convertor. The thyristor-based system is good but when used with Microprocessor based speed controller they are really good. We have shown the block diagram, circuit diagram used by us to control a small tape recorder sized motor
Can a rheostat be used to control speed on a capacitor run motor?
No. If you attempt to reduce the voltage to a cap start motor by using a rheostat, you can destroy the motor.
Difference between diac and triac?
The diac and the triac are used to control the AC lines. The difference is that triac are bigger than diac.
Why antiparallel SCR are preferred over TRIAC?
For power control of inductive load.They can be successfully used for resistive load as well.
What does the term 'triac' means?
A "triac" is a type of thyristor designed for electronic control of the current supplied to a circuit, used especially in dimmers for lighting systems.
What component is used as a high power solid state AC switch?
Triac.
How can a relay be used to run a 9V electric motor?
A relay cannot be used to power a motor. It can be used to control the motor by wiring the motor circuit in series with the relay contacts.
What is the Difference between MCC and PDB?
mcc is motor control center consists of motor starter . pdb is power distribution board which is used to distribute the power.
A device with a overload protection used to control a motor is a?
A device with an overload protection used to control a motor is an Overload Relay.
What is the difference between an AC servomotor and a DC servomotor?
With a DC motor, power is supplied from a controller and transmitted to the motor windings via brushes and a commutator using pulse width modulation. This requires that the controller be adequate to handle the power/heat of the application and that the brushes and commutator are well maintained as they are wearing parts. With an AC servomotor, the controller only provides a low power signal to any size motor. Raw power to the motor is handled separately from the control circuit. The control signal is used to control the position of the motor which has internal position sensing capability. Power to the AC servo is always on.
What is vf speed control?
It is used for sensorless motor control. With vf speed control u can control speed of any induction motor.

What is difference between switchgear and MCC?
switch gear is apparatus used for switching,controlling and protecting the electrical circuit and equipment. MCC (motor control centers) is switch gear cabinet single operator panel.motor control centre groups of motor controllers and related devices in a compact structure.MCC is a bunch of motor feeders from where you can control power to connected motors.that's why it is called motor control center.
What is a gateless triac?
A gateless triac is a diac. It is often used in the gate circuit of a triac to balance out the firing voltage for the triac in both quadrants, so that there is no DC offset in the controlled load. This is because, while the gate trigger voltage is often asymmetric in the two quadrants, the M1/M2 breakdown voltage is often symmetric.
