#177329 - The OP's schematic *is* isolated Responding to: ???'s previous message  | 
Konstantinos L. Angelis said: 
The OP has already made connections to mains using the Triac and the load at 230V AC  Yes, but it's only the triac's two main terminal that are "live" - the rest of his circuit is entirely isolated (by the transformer and optocoupler). That is a very different scenario from directly powering the microcontroller from the mains!!  |
