Hello,
We have an electric heating element connected to the mains. We wish to regulate the temperature by skipping half mains cycles, as in the attached waveform (LTspice sim also attached).
The power factor is great because mains current and voltage are always in phase. But is there any problem caused in the mains electricity system by this ON/OFF type waveform?
