ABSTRACT:
The proposed invention is an energy saving load control device primarily intended for inductive loads (i.e., fluorescent lighting, motors, etc.) operating from an alternating current (AC) source. The proposed device switches the load voltage off at arbitrary positions in the sine wave and simultaneously provides a commutating path for any inductive current. By switching the load voltage on and off and providing a commutating current path reduced energy consumption is realized.
