What is RMS Load Current of TRIAC ?

The RMS (Root Mean Square) load current of a TRIAC refers to the effective or equivalent current flowing through the load when the TRIAC is used to control an AC circuit. This RMS current is a key parameter because it represents the heating or power dissipation in the load and is important for sizing components and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the circuit. The RMS load current provides an effective measure of the average heating or power consumption in the load. It's used to size components like wires, transformers, and other elements of the circuit to ensure they can handle the current safely and efficiently.

How to Calculate RMS Load Current of TRIAC?

RMS Load Current of TRIAC calculator uses RMS Current = Peak Current/2 to calculate the RMS Current, RMS Load Current of TRIAC is the root mean square value of the current that flows through the load when the triac is conducting. The RMS value of the AC voltage is the voltage that would produce the same heating effect as the actual AC voltage waveform. The trigger angle is the angle at which the TRIAC is triggered relative to the peak of the AC voltage waveform. The load impedance is the resistance, inductance, and capacitance of the load. The TRIAC characteristics include the on-state voltage drop and the on-state current rating. RMS Current is denoted by I_rms symbol.

How to calculate RMS Load Current of TRIAC using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for RMS Load Current of TRIAC, enter Peak Current (I_peak) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the RMS Load Current of TRIAC calculation can be explained with given input values -> 90 = 0.00018/2.
