Hi,

Anyone can tell/teach me how to switch the AC signal to control logic signal (+5V)? Please can you show me the design connection.....

Bellow i am showing the logic signal to control the AC signal...

Thanks...
 

Re: Traic as Switch

You can use standard optocoupler (diode-phototransistor) as per attached drawings.
In the first circuit the voltage is dropped by a capacitor (no heat) in the second circuit the same function is achieved by a power resistor.

Re: Traic as Switch

hi,


What the value i need to choose for the capacitor (for AC want izit)?
the resistor i need to choose high watt, if i choose 10R? and
normal 4N25 optocouler...

Which want design you recommend...

Thanks....
 

Re: Traic as Switch

Assuming that the voltage is 220Vac and the diode current will be 10mA, the resistor's value will be ≈22kΩ, or the capacitor's value ≈150nF/250Va ..
My preference is the circuit with a capacitor as there will be no heat generated by this passive component. In case of the reasistor, you will need to use one rated to at least 2.5W ..
