DIAC starts to conduct current after some threshold voltage.

DIAC starts to conduct current after some threshold voltage. Correct Answer True

DIAC starts to conduct current after some threshold voltage. It starts to conduct current only when the input voltage crosses the breakdown voltage. It is also extensively used to assist the triggering action of TRIAC (Triode alternating current) when used as a switch.

When an electric current coil of a wattmeter is connected to the electric current path R and the voltage coil is connected between the electric current R path and the neutral side of the balanced three phase supply, it shows 10 kW. The line voltage along the phase sequence RYB is 400 V. The current drawn by the current path is 54 A. What is the new reading of the wattmeter if the voltage coil is connected between the lines B and the Y paths, even if the electric current coil is continuously present in the line R?
