Electrical – Zero cross circuit exploded

zero crossing

would like to get a feedback on a zero cross circuit as it does not work.

Circuit is based on this.
enter image description here
240V AC, 50 Hz

Expect that C2 is 50V.
R1,R2, R4 are SMD.

After connecting to mains and measuring voltage across R1, the track between J1(Ac+) and R1 exploded. R1 is alive.

Voltage on C2, R6 and U1 is 100 V

Is this circuit valid ?

Best Answer

I might be going on a side-track but may I suggest you to use this simpler zero crossing detector circuit:

Zero cross detector

This is the output that you will get:

Output

Blue curve is 220 VAC and yellow trace is the output at ZCD_OUTPUT.
