The triacs that Liebert uses are standard in the industry and are rated at a 2-amp
capacity. You can check these devices for proper operation while they are
connected in the circuit. If the load is removed from the device, you can get a
false reading from the meter. This is because the voltage potential is present and
is detected by the meter. When the load is applied to the device, the potential is
not detected by the meter. To test a triac for proper operation, energize the circuit
and connect the load.
