I need some help in the design of a triac circut that is triggered by an induction coil. The idea is that I wind a coil and pass a conductor to a large power tool thru it. When the tool is energized the induction created in the coil triggers the triac and other tools are energized after a time delay has elapsed. like a vacum system etc. I already have the timer section built so no worries there. I would like to be able to adjust the sensitivity of the system for brake over (POT in the system to determine to at what induction level the triac conducts) I will probably take the output to a small relay. I am not sure what to specify as far as what triac to use, what to specify as far as brakeover voltage, max power, etc. I am a beginner so extended explanations would be really helpful.
Thanks
Eric
