Another avenue to explore is to use a single triac with a zero crossing opto and use variable burst firing to obtain an average speed.It's a ceiling fan.
I used triac based fan dimmer but it causes audible noise from fan at lower speed that's why i am building this capacitor based dimmer so i can get rid of that noise and can control it by microcontroller.
Not by Mosfet, by Triac.I tried that too, averaging, pulse skipping method, mosfet ,igbt.
I want to know why my circuit is making noise.
I am trying to replace rotary capacitor based fan dimmer using triac so i can control it by uc.
I've never opened up a fan speed controller, but I'm having trouble imagining that it has a rotary (variable) capacitor in it. Is this a thing?I am trying to replace rotary capacitor based fan dimmer using triac
And what was the nature of the result?Ya, i did that, detection of zero crossing and fire triac at every positive and negative cycle.
