How do you determine the best value of a leveling cap on the backside of a full wave bridge?


In this case, 12 volts 1.5 amps DC.

MarkE

The usual method is to determine the acceptable voltage droop, half cycle to half cycle.

The droop is approximately: VDROOP ~= ILOAD/(C*2*F)

The shortcut is: 8,333uF*Volts / Amp at 60Hz, or 10,000uF*Volts / Amp at 50Hz.

At 1.5A you need 12,500uF for 1V droop, 6,250 if you can tolerate 2V droop, 3,125uF if you can tolerate 4V droop etc.
