A method for modulating a load by means of a control command obtained by varying a conduction angle of an AC voltage, the conduction angle of the alternating current being constant during stable operation, and the conduction angle being modulated only when the state of the load is to be changed, the method includes the steps of:
- (A) modulating the conduction angle of multiple cycles of the alternating current to form a signal sequence by means of a conduction angle modulation circuit;
- (B) detecting the signal sequence by means of a conduction angle detection circuit, and generating a conduction angle signal;
- and
- (C) controlling the load by means of a control unit based on the conduction angle signal.
