How to prevent a triac from causing Incandescents lights to flicker
How to prevent a triac from causing Incandescents lights to flicker
(OP)
I currently have a 100 ohm and .1uF across the MT1 and MT2 terminals of the triac and currently have a flickering occurring. When I am connected to building power =no problem. WHen I am connected up to a generator that's when i get the problem. DO I know have sufficient snubber across the triac?

You may not need any snubber depending on what your load is.

I am using a zero cross detector chip placed at the front of my ac input connection, to detect AC voltage zero cross for phase control. I would think the RC snubber on the front end would delay the zero cross detection for every 1/2 cycle??
Maybe I could place a snubber circuit at the mains distribution (input) that feeds 3 light dimmer circuits?

whics depends on frequency.

You nee, I'm afraid, a more complicated scheme -- so back
