AC Voltage Controller

AC voltage controllers can control power flow by varying the RMS voltage applied to a load. They use semiconductor switches connected between an AC supply and load. Single-phase controllers can be unidirectional or bidirectional, while three-phase controllers can also be unidirectional or bidirectional. Common control methods for AC-AC converters include phase angle control, on-off control, PWM control, and others. Applications include industrial and domestic heating, transformer connection changing, motor speed control, lighting control, and more.

AC Voltage Controllers

M  If a semiconductor switch is connected


between ac supply and load, the power flow

U can be controlled by varying the rms value of


ac voltage applied to the load; and this type of

E power circuit is known as ac voltage controller.
