Driving Induction motor using TRIAC

If we replacing the TRIAC by relay to control motor means also need snubber..?
 

The X2 Capacitors cost 3 to 4 USD. Why not simply use 40A type snubberless TRIAC ?
47n or 100 nF/275 VAC X2 capacitors from major manufacturers are starting below 50 cent, single quantity at catalog distributors.

Snubbering the triac is one point and never wrong with inductive loads, although not necessarily required.

What's the difference between RC across TRIAC and taking TAPPING after RESISTOR..?
Opto triac dV/dt sensitivity is the other point, and usually more critical. That's why a suggested a modified snubber/filter circuit in post #11. It's discussed in detail in the linked Onsemi application note. With a 220 ohm series resistor, it's absorbing transients across the triac to some extent and to a greater degree filtering the opto triac input voltage. The circuit proved useful for me, but it's surely not the only way.
 

If driving this motor with relay means also have to use snubber..?
 



If using relay is this circuit is correct..?
 

Snubber with TRIAC is working fine without any issue.Thanks for all your supports...

Is this snubber circuit is correct for relay..?
Please advice to solve it...
 

A snubber working for triac can't be completely wrong for relays. It will usually reduce contact arcing. Snubber in parallel to contacts is however producing a certain leakage current which may be unwanted in some applications, e.g. when switching LED or fluorescent lamps. But it should be o.k. for motor load.

The snubber is connected across input and output.Is their any possible of current flow from input to output..?
 

Please what AC utility voltage are you working. I want to try FVM's final circuit with the snubbe.
 



This is G2R2 relay.
I'm using this relay for controlling water solenoid and single phase induction motor control.
In this method both negative and positive of solenoid and single phase induction motor are controlled with this relay..

Is it safe..?Because the terminal gap in the connector is too close..
Shall we replace this type relay by G2R by looping all negative points..

Both solenoid and motor works in 230VAC..
 

Is it safe..?Because the terminal gap in the connector is too close..
Right, clearance and creepage distance ist too small for 300 VAC CAT II. The 3.96 mm connector family is mostly used for 230 VAC with a void pin position.

Notice that the clearance of a 230 V switching triac is even smaller, but it's expected to "overhead" fire during a surge voltage anyway, thus it makes no sense to design this circuit part for the overvoltage category.
 




Is this package is ok for TRIAC..?
 


I honestly have no idea how you make it bidirectional with just this type of controller, but I'm pretty sure you need zerro cross detection to make a dimmer that can control the motor speed.
Something like this will help you https://esp8266-projects.org/2015/05/mpdmv3-wifi-mains-power-dimmer-switch-html/
 

The thread doesn't refer to speed control in any place, just bidirectional operation of an asynchronous motor with run capacitor. The capacitor causes some problems for triac control.
 


The snubber circuit,it's values and any errors in driver circuit..?
 

Hi,

* missing junction dot at RL1
* missing power supply capacitor(s)
I recommend them to suppress transients when the ULN inside diode becomes conductive.

Why the ULN with unused 7 transitors and not a single transistor?
Why the optocoupler?
Do you use an extra isolated 12V supply just for the relay?

1.I will place Power supply capacitor on both ICs.
2.8 relay have to connect with ULN IC.For Taking screenshot,here showed only one.
3.Yes It having seperate +12VDC power supply,so used optocoupler..

**broken link removed**

Have to add capacitor between +12VDC and GND for every relay..?
 

Hi,

Why optocoupler? In my eyes they are useless.

Relays don't need the capacitors...but if you want to stabilize the voltage then you are free to add capacitors.

Is this circuit is wrong or advising not to use optocouplers for relay..?

Waiting for your advice friends..

While uisng ULN IC optocoupler is not required..?
 

Hi,

Optocoupler is for isolation, it has nothing to do with ULN.

Or does the ULN datasheet say you need to use an optocoupler?
