TRIACs are notorious for not firing symmetrically. This
means these usually won't trigger at the exact same gate
voltage level for one polarity as for the other. Generally
speaking, this is undesirable, because unsymmetrical firing
results in a current waveform with a greater variety of
harmonic frequencies. Waveforms that are symmetrical above
and below their average centerlines are comprised of only
odd-numbered harmonics. Unsymmetrical waveforms, on the
other hand, contain even-numbered harmonics
DIAC breakover voltages tend to be much more
symmetrical (the same in one polarity as the other) than
TRIAC triggering voltage thresholds. Since the DIAC prevents
any gate current until the triggering voltage has reached a
certain, repeatable level in either direction, the firing point of
the TRIAC from one half-cycle to the next tends to be more
consistent, and the waveform more symmetrical above and
below its centerline.
A typical diac-triac circuit used for smooth control of ac power
to a heater is shown in figure. The triac conduction angle is
adjusted by adjusting the potentiometer R2. The longer the
triac conducts, the larger the output will be from the heater.
Thus a smooth control of the heat output from the heater is
obtained.
