Today I'm trying to control a 1800W electric heater with a PIC.
About 16A @ 110VAC, I was thinking of using a 25A Triac and
optocoupler/driver.
My question is how hot will the Triac get? is there a better way? cheaper?
thanks

Jason
P.S.
I've archived all the PID discussions for the next step of this project.....
