1. I have a circuit which has 220Vac/50Hz input which heats up a wire. On full mode, entire 220V is connected to wire, so wire gets heated up quickly. Next mode is half mode, in which I have connected a diode in series, so negative half is clipped & positive half is formed, so wire gets less heated.
2. Is there any way so that power can be further reduced by half, by placing a simple diode or component so that wire gets less heat?
