OPERATING MODES

Full-Wave Switch (TAKT)

In full-switch mode, whole multiples of the mains periods are always switched and
harmonics are minimized.
The mains are switched on/off depending on the prescribed time period.
Ts = switch-on time
Figure 5‑32. TAKT waveform
The start and stop ramp functions can be used in TAKT mode. Ramps are used with
the operation of large single loads to reduce pulse-shaped mains loads and therefore
to reduce voltage variations. The ramps are implemented by applying periods with
phase-angle firing, using the parameters SST and SDN (see the following figure).
