Dimming AC Incandescent Lamps Using A PIC10F200
. Unfortunately, microcontrollers do not run. more than a high-current rheostat (variable resistor). at AC line voltages, they need a low-voltage DC power. wired in series with the lamp. For low-light conditions, it. supply to operate. Transformerless designs can supply. was adjusted to a high resistance

AC Motors
rotation is counterclockwise when facing the end opposite the drive shaft. Motors can be reconnected to reverse the direction of rotation. Universal motors: The universal motor operates with nearly equivalent performance on direct current or alternating current up to 60 Hz. It differs from a dc series
