achieved using a potentiometer. This system is not suitable because of the power losses that it makes. Furthermore, such device can not be controlled automatically or is very hard and complicated to do so. Because of these reasons, some electronic devices was produced to control the power which supply the lamps or other instruments that need such ability. For example, Triacs or Thyristors are two common type of such facilities. The control process of the mentioned devices is a complex jo Today, for this purpose there are many ICs from different companies throughout the world which conclude this job very well. We employ one of them named TCA785 that is illustrated in the above circuit. For the controlling target, we apply a photocell. Photocell is a light-sensitive sens and when the intensity of the light increases, the resistance of this device reduced. to preparing an appropriate voltage for the control voltage input of the IC, this sen so suitable.

The concept of controlling the power of lamp is indicated in the above figure. As you see, the THD of the voltage or current for this method is very high and one should pu a filter in the input to reduce the harmful influences of this harmonics for the Netw Please note that this kind of power controllers can not be used for other type of lam such as fluorescents, Xenon, Sodium Vapor and so on.
