The main application of an ioniser is to clean the air. What i want to do is to eliminate electrostatic forces of small particles. I don't know if it will work.
Well i'd connect the Ioniser to the mains with a TRIAC in series. The ioniser is a Cockroft Walton Voltage Multiplier structure (i am puting 30 diodes 1N4007 and 30 * 10nF capacitors). How can i calculate the total current? The simulations gives me this "sinewave" for the Current.
Ok now i understand. I wasn't looking at the specs cause i saw this opto used in many application. Ill be more carefull. I have 2 more units of the MOC3020, but none of the MOC3021.

Thank you for your reply! Ill...
Hello goldsmith. I never said i can't use square wave to control the TRIAC. I can. I just said that the control is not working because the opto doens't show any output....
This is the circuit with control. The objective is to automatically turn on and off the main circuit. The 555 generates a 2 Hz sq signal and the optocoupler should send it to the TRIAC gate pin. This would turn on and of my ioniser circuit.
Thank you =). The thing is that i can't see the digital signal after the optocoupler (the square signal only appears between the 555 and the opto). I'm testing it with the mains terminals open. How can i test this control part without connecting the mains?
Good afternoon.
I am trying to use a TRIAC to turn on and off the mains connection to a load. This load is directly connected to the mains (without a transformer) because it is a Cockroft Walton Ioniser (with capacitors and diodes). I'd like to use the TRIAC with this configuration: where...
Hello, i am trying to have this circuit working. I have the Serial to Parallel Converter connected to the input pins of the DAC (SPI intead of just the parallel interface cause i prefer to use less pins of my microcontroller...). The DAC is supplied by a DC DC converter (5 V -> +-12 V). I have...
