Description
Dart 55/57 Series Triac Controls adjust the voltage output of an AC supply, similar to a light dimmer or ceiling fan control. Dart offers several models which can be used with single phase AC motors to adjust their speed. They can also be used with resistive loads such as lighting. Note: Triac Controls will NOT work with capacitor start motors. Capacitor start motors are not designed to be run variable speed. Attempts to slow these motors will be thwarted by the motor capacitor. Motors which may have their speed adjusted using a Triac Control include: Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC), Permanent Split Phase (PSP), Shaded Pole and Universal. These are all single-phase motor types which Triac Controls might adjust speed - these applications may still have limitations. It is not likely a Triac Control will offer a wide range of speed adjustment - it likely will be in the top half of speed pot adjustment. The user may need to turn the Triac Control output up to get the motor moving before slowing down. Because success is application dependent, it is wise to sample a Triac Control first to evaluate performance in the particular application.
