The circuit is two separate 3023 optoisolators driving two separate triacs, each one powering a large 3-phase contactor. One contactor is engaging fine. The other one is rattling badly because it isn`t getting full power to pull in. The top photo shows trace from the good triac circuit, working fine. Bottom photo shows the bad one. It looks like t

he triac is dropping out right after hitting peak positive voltage. Thanks for any help. I`m a first time poster who is in over his head on a repair - really more of a mechanical guy than an electrical expert. (I`d be happy to trade mechanical advice!) The triac should only turn off when the current passes through zero. Since you are driving a coil, maybe the current passes through zero where you see the voltage drop. To be sure you would need to measure load current too (on a scope). As you can see from the attachment I can simulate something very much like the result you are seeing. The problem arises from too short a gate pulse. If you are applying a pulse (y/n ) to the triac gate you may need to make it longer - say 90% of the AC cycle in duration.

I guessed the circuit values. With a control duty cycle of 0. 7 I obtain the waveform indicated earlier. With the duty cycle increased to 0. 8 the problem vanishes and the load has the full sinusoid imposed. One would have to know the actual circuit parameters to correctly advise the OP.

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
