Hello -
I have a bad light dimmer and suspect that the problem is with the triac. I have never used a triac before. Is there a way to measure them with a multimeter to determine if they are bad? I also have a curve tracer if that will help.
The triac in question is the BTB04-600SL from ST. The data sheet can be found at:

Any insights will be appreciated.
Thanks!
