Hey, thanks for sharing
Well I fried some TRIAC again. This is pissing me off really bad, I spend so much hours trying to figure out what is wrong with mine.
(basicaly I put 2 1000ohm resistor in parallel (making it 500ohm measured) (in serie onto the 1 of the triac) and it still managed to kill (tick sound) the bt139-600e w/ a single turn on the primary and 10 turn on the secondary, I don't get it, it worked really nice at first -> before not connecting the load properly just once).
Anyway you gave me some ideas I might have a ignition coil lying around (might make/take a power supply and make a command for it).
On this: gallagher_villanypasztor_electrical_fence_sch.pdf
What is the name of the NE1 component ? (It is for watching if the fence working (properly))
Three others option:
- as Armadillo suggested, I might have been chasing my own tail the entire time, maybe I got counterfeit triac (I mixed some from ebay and some aliexpress). Ikr, I ain't proud.
Thus I need to buy from a thrustworthy seller BT139-800.
-or buy a big beafy: BTW69-1000 (that would finally explain why the silk footprint on the board was so big in the first place)
-or provide it to someone to service it (I spend way to much time on it to give just now, even if I am pissed.
Money wise it is still ok)
3 Joules is already enough for our use (we got 3 25µF in working condition), 5 Joules that would do some serious muscle contraction.
I am going to finish that problem one day.
