Phasenan- oder Phasenabschnitt(steuerung)
phase rising and falling edge (controller)


Explanation:
In most cases the terms "Phasenanscnittsteuerung" and "Phasenabschnittsteuerung" are used in Electrotechnical contexts.

Phasenanschnittsteuerung und Phasenabschnittsteuerung dienen als Leistungssteller elektrischer Verbraucher, die mit Wechselspannung betrieben werden. Typische Anwendungen sind Dimmer, die Drehmomentregelung von Wechselstrommotoren (z. B. elektrische Handbohrmaschinen) oder die Stromeinstellung beim Widerstandsschweißen mit Wechselstrom. Sie stellt eine Form der Pulsweitenmodulation(PWM) dar.
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasenanschnittsteuerung

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dimmer mit einem Einstellglied zum Einstellen eines gewünschten Dimmungsgrades, einer Phasenanschnitt- und einer Phasenabschnittsteuerung und mit einer Lasterkennungsschaltung zum selbsttätigen Aktivieren der Phasenanschnitt- oder Phasenabschnittsteuerung.

The device has an adjustment element for setting a desired degree of dimming, phase rising and falling edge controllers (24,28) and a load detection circuit (30) for automatic activation of the phase controller.

leading edge or trailing edge phase control dimmer


Explanation:
Phasenanschnitt – leading edge
Man unterscheidet beim Dimmen zwischen den beiden grundsätzlichen Prinzipien Phasenanschnitt- und Phasenabschnitt-Steuerung.
Das Phasenanschnitt-Prinzip eignet sich für ohmsche und induktive Lasten. Elektronische Trafos haben im Allgemeinen ein kapazitives Eingangsverhalten. Steile Einschaltflanken würden hohe Stromspitzen erzeugen. Daher werden solche Lasten nach dem Phasenabschnitts-Prinzip, das solche Einschaltflanken vermeidet, gedimmt.
Conventional transformers have to be operated with leading-edge phase dimmers for inductive loads. Electronic transformers however mostly need trailing-edge phase dimmers. The electronic HALOTRONIC MOUSE transformer is an exception; it can also be dimmed with a leading-edge phase dimmer for inductive loads.

There are various types of dimming options available, but the most popular are ‘phase control’ (or phase-cut) dimmers. Phase control dimmers work by chopping out parts of the voltage and reducing power to the light source. The two types of phase control dimmer available are ‘trailing-edge’ and ‘leading-edge’ and they work in different ways which ultimately affects their compatibility with certain light forms:
Leading-edge: inductive loads (e.g. magnetic low voltage transformers), resistive loads (e.g. incandescent). Trailing-edge: capacitive loads (e.g. electronic low voltage transformers, LED drivers), resistive loads (e.g. incandescent).
