AC Dimmer Circuit Using Phase Angle Control

Dimmer circuits which utilize Phase Angle Control are used to efficiently adjust the AC power delivered to AC loads by controlling the conduction angle. In this element14 presents episode, Surbhika has developed this kind of circuit to enable her to dim commonly used AC light bulbs in her home. She found it an interesting DIY project, as it meant understanding one of the fundamental concepts in power electronics and control theory to create usable hardware that could be built on a budget.
