摘要: A signal source generates a drive signal according to a dimming level. A discharge part includes a series circuit having a Zener diode and a rectifier element connected in series. The series circuit enables passage of a reverse current of the Zener diode. In the discharge part, the series circuit is electrically connected between a control terminal and the signal source to enable the reverse current of the Zener diode to flow from the control terminal to the signal source.

摘要: A control unit controls a bidirectional switch so as to turn the switch from ON to OFF when an amount of time, varying according to a lighting level, passes since a starting point of a half cycle of an AC voltage. When a voltage between both terminals of a capacitive element, connected to a control terminal of the bidirectional switch, becomes equal to or greater than a threshold voltage, the bidirectional switch turns from OFF to ON A first charging/discharging regulator circuit and a second charging/discharging regulator circuit each make a rate of fall of the voltage between both of the terminals of the capacitive element when the bidirectional switch turns from ON to OFF lower than a rate of rise of the voltage between both of the terminals of the capacitive element when the bidirectional switch turns from OFF to ON.

摘要: The dimming device includes a pair of input terminals, a bidirectional switch, an inputter, a power supply, a controller, and a current limiter. The power supply is electrically connected between the pair of input terminals and is supplied with electric power from an AC power supply to generate control electric power. The controller is supplied with the control electric power from the power supply to operate. The controller is configured to control the bidirectional switch in accordance with a dimming level. The current limiter stops generation of the control electric power by the power supply when a current larger than or equal to a specified value flows from the AC power supply through the power supply.

摘要: In a light-dimming device according to an example of the present invention, a controller is configured to be supplied with control electric power from an electricity accumulator to operate and to retain a bidirectional switch in an on state for an on time having a length according to a dimming level in every half period of an AC voltage of an AC power supply in a lighting mode. A charger including a first charger and a second charger causes a current to flow from a pair of input terminals and to the electricity accumulator. An impedance of the second charger which is a charger in a case of causing a current to flow to the electricity accumulator in the lighting mode is lower than an impedance of the first charger which is a charger in a case of causing a current to flow to the electricity accumulator in a non-lighting mode.

摘要: A load control system includes a switch, a controller, an additional functioning unit, a power source, and an adjuster. The controller is configured to switch the switch between a conduction state and a non-conduction state. The switch is electrically connected in series to a load with respect to an alternating-current power source. The additional functioning unit is configured to perform a process different from switching operation of the switch. The power source receives electric power supplied from the alternating-current power source to generate electric power to be supplied to the controller and the additional functioning unit. The adjuster adjusts a supply time period during which the power source is supplied with electric power from the alternating-current power source in a maximum load state of a state where the additional functioning unit normally operates, electric power consumption by the additional functioning unit being maximum in the maximum load state.

摘要: A load controller according to an embodiment includes a switching unit, a power source unit, and a control unit. The switching unit controls supply of power from an AC power supply to a load by selectively connecting or disconnecting the load to/from the AC power supply. The power source unit converts AC power supplied from the AC power supply into DC power. The control unit operates with the DC power supplied from the power source unit and controls the switching unit. The power source unit includes a constant-voltage source and a constant-current source. The constant-voltage source keeps a DC voltage to be output to the control unit a constant voltage. The constant-current source keeps a DC current to be supplied via the constant-voltage source to the control unit a constant current.

摘要: A bidirectional switch is configured to switch between conduction and non-conduction of a bidirectional current between a pair of input terminals. An inputter is configured to receive a dimming level specifying the magnitude of a light output of a load. A controller is configured to control the bidirectional switch so as to retain the bidirectional switch in an ON state for an on time having a length determined in accordance with the dimming level within a prescribed range in each of half periods of an AC voltage of an AC power supply. A corrector is configured to determine whether or not a target waveform has an anomaly with reference to a prescribed determination condition. The corrector is configured to correct the prescribed range so as to narrow the prescribed range when the target waveform has the anomaly. The target waveform is a waveform of at least one of a voltage and a current input to the pair of input terminals.
