Zero crossing control
Zero crossing control is like playing the stop-and-go game with electricity. Imagine you are playing outside with your friends, and your mom tells you to stop when the traffic light is red and go when it's green. You have to wait until you see the green light to start running again. This is kind of how zero crossing control works.
Electricity is a type of power that flows in a circuit to make things like lights turn on. When you turn on a light switch, you are allowing electricity to flow through the wires and into the light bulb, which makes it turn on.
But if too much electricity flows too quickly, it can be dangerous and damage your appliances. So, we need a way to control the amount of electricity that flows into these appliances. This is where zero crossing control comes in.
Zero crossing control is a way to turn the electricity on and off at specific times, to control the amount of power that flows into an appliance. It happens when the electricity is turned on and off at the exact moment when the electrical wave is sitting on zero, which is the point where the wave changes direction.
Just like your stop-and-go game, zero crossing control works by waiting for the right moment to turn on or off the electricity. It's like saying "stop" to the electricity when it reaches a certain point in the wave, and then waiting until it reaches another point before you say "go" again.
By doing this, we can control the amount of electricity that flows into an appliance, which makes it work more efficiently and avoid causing damage. Zero crossing control is used in many different types of electrical systems, from light dimmers to electric ovens and refrigerators.
