Triac and Phase Cut Motor Controls
Triac controls are used in a wide variety of applications such as pumps, vacuum cleaners, blenders, mixers, fans, lamp dimmers, and other small tools and appliances where variable uni-directional speed control is desired.
They are ideal for universal motors, DC brush motors, AC induction (PSC) motors, shaded pole motors and resistive loads. LCR has developed easily-customized demonstration boards to reduce OEM project start-up time. Contact an LCR representative for information on how to obtain a sample.
All of our triac controls feature:
- Single, multiple or ranged voltage (85 to 265 VAC)
- Variable motor speed
- Operating temperature range of -40 to 85 ºC and beyond
- RoHS compliance
- Broad range of load current options
- Feedback control options
- Custom user interfaces
- Current monitor options
- CE compliant including EMI
- Customized designs
- Quick time to market
