CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF A FAN MOTOR USING DIAC AND TRIAC.

PROCEDURE:

• Choose the fan or any AC motor provided it should be rated below 100 watts.
• Take a bread board and connect the circuit as given in the below diagram.
• The firing circuit consists of resistor R1, potentiometer R2, capacitor C1 and a DIAC. Connect the one terminal of the DIAC to the voltage divider combination of resistors and capacitor as shown in figure.
• Consider the data sheet of TRIAC BT 136 for recognizing the terminals of TRIAC and to know the other detailed information. Connect MT1 terminal to the neutral while MT2 to one end of the AC motor or load. And connect the gate terminal to the other end of DIAC.

VIDEO:

• Connect the load fan between the Phase or Line terminal of the AC power supply and MT2 terminal of TRIAC
• By varying the pot (Variable Resistor)  R2, the rate at which capacitor is going to be charged get varied this means that if the resistance is less, the capacitor will charge at a faster rate so the earlier will be the conduction of TRIAC.

• As the potentiometer resistance gradually increases, the conduction angle of TRIAC will be reduced. Hence the average power across the load will be varied.

• Due to the bidirectional control capability of both TRIAC and DIAC, it is possible to control the firing angle of the TRIAC in both positive and negative peaks of the input.

RESULT:

Thus the speed control using DIAC & TRIAC circuit was constructed and tested with Fan.
