(b) Case 2
Case
Cause
• The load current is lower than the minimum load current of the output module.
• In such a case, the load current flows into a phototriac as shown above because the triac does not operate. If an inductive load is
connected with the load current flowing into a phototriac, the load may not turn off because the surge at the time of off is applied to the
phototriac.
Action
• Connect a resistor across the load so that the load current is equal to or higher than the minimum load current.
