Product Specification Sheet
TRIAC Characteristics Trainer
Model Number: MTDK-01
The TRIAC Characteristics Trainer is a complete laboratory training system developed to study the voltage-current (V-I) characteristics and switching behavior of TRIAC devices. Manufactured by Micro Technologies, the trainer incorporates digital measuring instruments, dual regulated DC power supplies, an onboard TRIAC device, and comprehensive safety features, making it ideal for engineering colleges, universities, polytechnic institutes, technical training centers, and power electronics laboratories.
Product Specification
The TRIAC Characteristics Trainer is specially designed to provide students with practical knowledge of TRIAC operation through hands-on laboratory experimentation. Manufactured by Micro Technologies, this trainer enables learners to study the electrical characteristics, triggering mechanisms, and bidirectional switching behavior of TRIAC devices used extensively in AC power control applications.
The trainer allows students to perform detailed experiments on the V-I characteristics of a TRIAC, helping them understand forward and reverse conduction, gate triggering, breakover characteristics, holding current, latching current, and bidirectional switching operation. These practical experiments provide valuable insight into the operation of TRIACs used in light dimmers, fan regulators, motor speed controllers, heater control circuits, and industrial power control systems.
The trainer incorporates a built-in BT136 TRIAC, permanently mounted on the front panel to eliminate external component handling while ensuring reliable and repeatable experiments. Two independently regulated DC power supplies provide separate control of gate and main terminal voltages through front-panel potentiometers, allowing smooth voltage adjustment for precise experimentation.
Integrated digital panel meters provide accurate voltage and current measurements throughout laboratory experiments, enabling students to observe TRIAC characteristics and analyze switching performance with confidence. Clearly printed circuit diagrams and color-coded 4 mm safety sockets simplify circuit connections and minimize wiring errors during practical sessions.
The trainer is fabricated using a premium insulated printed circuit board with permanently printed circuit symbols for easy identification of experimental terminals and measuring points. High-quality electronic components ensure stable operation, reliable performance, and long operational life.
To maximize laboratory safety, the trainer incorporates fuse-based short-circuit protection, safeguarding both the trainer and users during experimentation. The complete trainer is housed in a rugged ABS plastic cabinet that offers excellent durability while maintaining a compact tabletop design suitable for continuous educational use.
The TRIAC Characteristics Trainer is widely used in engineering colleges, universities, diploma institutes, polytechnic colleges, industrial training institutes (ITI), vocational training centers, power electronics laboratories, semiconductor laboratories, electronics laboratories, and technical education institutes.
Every TRIAC Characteristics Trainer manufactured by Micro Technologies undergoes comprehensive quality inspection and functional testing to ensure high measurement accuracy, operational reliability, safety, and long service life.
