Abstract

This paper deals with the comparative performance of available switching circuits for ac loads and optocoupler based switching circuit. The characteristics of the components involved in switching and the efficiency of the components are discussed. The thyristor based relay circuit is one of the most commonly used relays. The performance comparison is analyzed using multisim software. The performance and ratings of a 230Vac lamp connected to a switching circuit are compared, to arrive to a conclusion, that optocoupler based circuit is much more efficient and cost effective than thyristor based relay switching circuits.
