Room Heaters, Floor Heaters, Water Heaters, Ovens
Market Demands
  • No longer use relays
  • Heaters of 1.5kW to 3kW use 16A to 30A triacs
  • Heaters > 3kW use 30A to 45A triacs
  • Adjustable Heating Power by zero DC full/half cycle skipping guarantees low EMI
  • Continuous high current capability
  • Electronics must be able to withstand continuous high temperatures
  • High power application requires careful attention to triac and heatsink design
