ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for stepless control of electric loads by the phase-angle principle includes a semiconductor switch element with main electrodes. A trigger circuit furnishes turn-on pulses for triggering the switch element and includes a detector for the polarity of an instantaneous value of an alternating voltage to be switched, a turn-on pulse pregenerator circuit for furnishing turn-on pulse suggestions, a switch and driver unit, and a decision stage. The decision stage may allow or prevent the turn-on pulse suggestions to be switched through to the switch element, as a function of whether an output signal of the detector has changed its polarity between two of the turn-on pulse suggestions. The decision stage may furnish a blocking signal at least at one input for preventing the turn-on pulse suggestions from being switched through to the switch element, upon the appearance of two turn-on pulse suggestions within one half-wave of the alternating voltage to be switched and in the absence of a turn-on pulse suggestion during one entire half-wave of the alternating voltage to be switched. For brightness control, a transformer has a secondary winding connected to an incandescent bulb and a primary winding connected to one pole of an alternating voltage source and to one main electrode, while another pole of the voltage source is connected to another main electrode.
