Non-insulated power supplies are often required when a power semiconductor, which has to be controlled using this supply, has its drive reference connected to the mains (line or neutral terminal).

This design example report describes a 20 W high efficiency TRIAC dimmable, power factor corrected LED driver employing LYTSwitch™-4 LYT4314E. This design operates an input voltage ranging from 190 ...

Triacs are used to control ac mains loads in home appliances, and commercial and industrial equipment. In the majority of applications, the triac will dissipate sufficient power to make thermal ...

Mechanical relays, contactors, and switches control the flow of electricity by the mechanical action of two conducting elements. The physical contact of two conducting elements creates a path for ...
