November 18, 2019 in this tutorial we will design a circuit using triac and optocoupler to make a 220v ac light dimmer or ac fan speed controller using arduino warning. This is the most widely used type of dimmer as it is ver suitable for. Diac and triac lamp dimmer circuit simulation using multisim. What is presented here is a phasecontrolled aka phasecut leading edge aka forward phase triac dimmer. Optoisolator and triac to arduino simulation proteus simulation. Buy products related to triac dimmer products and see what customers say about triac dimmer products on free delivery possible on eligible purchases. However, dimming cfl lamps with this principle is more complicated due to the interaction between the dimmer and the cfl. Arduino controlled light dimmer pic microcontroller. This circuit is connected directly to the mains ac voltage. Voltage controlled dimmer with an attiny85 arduino forum. How to use optoisolator and triac to control an ac lamp circuit.
Triac dimmable cfl using uba2028uba2014uba2027x phase cut dimming with a triac works very well for dimming incandescent lamps. Arduino robotic online individual classes via skype with practical explanations, contact me on. The c code below is for ccs c compiler, it was tested with version 5. An10803 triac dimmable cfl application using the uba2028. It is important to understand how a wall dimmer works before designing a dimmable cfl lamp.
Aasmart 120v triac led dimmer switch, 150w dimmable ledcfl, 600w incandescenthalogen bulbs, singlepole or 3 way, 120v ac 60hz, wall plate included, etl listed, white. Here a triac is used to switch the ac lamp, as this is a power electronic fast switching device which is the best suited for these applications. As the program varies the dimming from full to off in. Ac phase control is accomplished using the internal hardware timer1 in the attiny85. It may be also that the program in the pic has something to improve. In this project the pic16f877a runs with crystal oscillator of 20mhz. The frequency of my ac source is 50hz which means the period is 20ms, so the half wave period is 10ms 0s. The interrupt routine then switches on the triac after a specific time. Connecting an optoisolator and triac to arduino and simulate in proteus 8 software. As we are using triacs, what the software needs to do is to wait for the zero point at the sinuscurve, take note of that and then wait a specified. In this tutorial we will learn about an ac lamp dimmer using arduino and triac.
Leading edge dimmers in this type the dimmer actually cuts parts off the beginning of the sinewave. I am working on a dimmer project as part of my thesis. You must care about all safety precautions before using the device. Aasmart 120v triac led dimmer switch, 150w dimmable led. This is an arduino software library to control ac loads using triacs and a zero cross detector circuit. Description it is a low cost dimmer circuit for adjusting the light brightness of incandescent, halogen lamp, light bulb load up to 250 w. Optoisolator and triac is used to control an external ac circuit and simulated in proteus 8 software.
