This presents a serious risk of electrocution. Working on mains voltage is not recommended for beginners in electronics. Triacs are semi-conductor switches that can be turned on by a pulse on the gate or trigger pin.
Once turned on they stay on until the current drops below the hold-on value. By delaying the turn-on point until some time after the voltage crosses zero volts — the zero-cross point — the voltage can be adjusted although it is no longer sinusoidal. The devices shown in Figure 2 can be used to give variable phase-angle control as shown in Figure 1. When the LED of the zero-cross opto-triac it turned on the zero-cross detection circuit will wait until the voltage is very close to zero before switching on the triac.
This minimises switching noise and electro-magnetic interference EMI to neighbouring equipment. The transistor will be used to turn on the MOIC The variable resistor will be able to adjust the LDR sensitivity. In the start, the circuit will not be in working, we will need to adjust the LDR sensitivity through a resistor. After that change, the sensitivity of the sun then witnesses the output on LAMP. The lamp will start glow and then again increase the frequency then LAMP will turn off.
This automatic night switch is very beneficial for saving energy and physical movement. Everything will be work in a flow but here this whole communication between low voltage and high voltage devices happened only due to MOC It has the ability to perform to take the low voltage signal and control high voltages through it without any relay but due to safety issues, it is preferred to use the external TRIACS or relays.

Email Address. Triacs already spontaneously turn off at current zero cross, so there is only need to turn on the SSR at current zero cross. For resistive loads, this is also voltage zero cross.
Assuming inductive or capacitive loads: I'm pretty sure the "zero cross" label refers to the voltage, and not the current, which means that the above does not apply to capacitive and inductive loads since voltage and current are not in phase. Turning on would waste power and reject interferences. To be confirmed though. To my knowledge the zero cross feature exists also in SSRs which are not based on triacs, it's just less convenient when dealing with AC controls. Addendum: Here is an illustration of the interferences I'm talking about.
The first figure shows one unswitched sinewave, and one switched, which have the same power. Strictly speaking I should be comparing several cycles where they are switched at zero cross in one case, and randomly in the other but that was quicker for one cycle.
The fast fourier transform in the second figure shows that much more unwanted frequencies are drawn from the supply when the sine wave is switched, including DC. Sign up to join this community.

Also I made another change which is put 30K resistor series with triac gate. It works and I see the desired output but the peak-to-peak voltage decreases significantly.
