More Information
Summary:A bleeder arrangement for a phase-cut circuit for a high-impedance load and having a leading-edge phase-cut device is disclosed, the bleeder arrangement comprising: a controllable current sink adapted to sink a latching current through the leading-edge phase-cut device, and a controller for controlling the controllable current sink, wherein the controller is configured to disable the current sink after the leading-edge phase phase-cut device has latched in at least two stages. A controller for use in such an arrangement is also disclosed, as is a method of controller such a bleeder arrangement.
