I have an application wherein the PIC is to drive an AC load at 240 =
volts, about 10A. For certain reasons, I cannot use a relay and have to =
use a TRIAC instead. Instead of using a TRIAC with a high current =
capacity of the required value, can I 'parallel' two or three of them =
safely, and expect them to share the load current? I have tried this =
technique briefly, and nothing blew, but how safe / reliable is it?=20

I would appreciate comments on this.

Regards,

Anand
