igbt in dimmer
Dear ALL,
I have some questions to ask you concerning the dimmers. I am thinking of re-designing a dimmer module of ours. In this dimmer we used triacs for Forward phase control. I wish to change the dimmer technology to a newer one like IGBT’s but to tell you the truth we are a little bit concerned about the high temperatures of the IGBT’s.
I know that the triacs dispose around 1W per 1A of heat. What about IGBT’s?
Would you be kind enough to provide us with documents for IGBT’s dimmer schematics?
What about sine-wave dimmers?
Is this kind of dimming achieved with IGBT’s?
Can we find any resources for sine-wave dimmers?
Which is the best method for dimming ?
triacs?
SCRs?
Quadracs?
Can we dim with alternistor triacs?
Well thank you in advance.
Sorry for all the questions ..
Best Regards,
Thanos
