Re: How to get the output from the light dimmer?

Lets say the input signal is just a low voltage waveform, lets say
10Vpeak sine wave. The light dimmer is using a TRIAC to fire up the
lamp. But I will connect an inductive load in parallel with the lamps.
Therefore, in order to check for the output, is it the probe should be
placed across the inductive load? Thanks guys
