Hey,
I'm having issues understanding the following TRIAC circuit. Can somebody explain to me the purpose of the resistor I've highlighted, as shown in the MOC3032/4042 datasheet. The 5V input signal is constant when the load is to be powered. Is it to drain the energy in the gate capacitance when switched off?
Thanks
