What is Phase Control Issues in Resistive Loads about?

Phase control into resistive loads can cause several problems including electrical noise, reduced power factor, and high DI/DT ratios. Nichrome heaters should use zero cross control while tungsten heaters require phase angle control for soft starts. Adding inductors between the power control and heater can reduce issues by lowering DI/DT and smoothing the voltage waveform. Using power factor correction capacitors or connecting to a lower impedance source can also help address problems caused by phase contro
