Your introduction, when the circuit involves the control circuit, if it is phase detection, it is necessary to connect the shaping trigger circuit and the comparison circuit.
Personally, I think it is a capacitor step-down circuit.
Resistance-capacitance step-down, generally used for pure resistance constant load, and low power. Its principle is to connect a small capacitor in series in the circuit, which is generally a nonpolar capacitor of about 0. 1uf, preferably an oil-immersed capacitor in iron shell. Because the capacitance is very small and the capacitive reactance is very large, it will consume a lot of voltage on the capacitor, thus reducing the voltage. The resistor is only used to discharge the capacitor.
The purpose of this practice is to save costs.
My humble opinion, I hope I can help you!
