What is the function of this triac in your power supply?

I have come across a triac which is used to switch between 115V and 230V input
in the PSU of a DEC 3000/300.  My triac went short circuit which caused some
release of magic smoke when the PSU was used on 230V.  I also had difficulty
finding a replacement for it so I ended up leaving it out.  The PSU worked
fine on 230V only without it once I replaced the other damaged components.  

If your triac has a different function, ignore the above.
