A Full Wave Rectifier Bridge With A Capacitor

AI Thread Summary
A full wave rectifier bridge has been successfully built using a 12V RMS transformer. The user seeks guidance on calculating the appropriate capacitor size and resistor value to reduce ripple in the output. They are unsure about the current rating of the transformer, which complicates the calculations. The voltage rating for the capacitor should exceed the peak voltage from the rectifier output. Understanding these parameters is crucial for achieving stable 12V DC output.

1. i have a transformor 12 v rms i want to do a full wave rectifier bridge with a capacitor and get a 12v dc



2. i need to know how i can calculat the capacitor needed and the resistor and wat to know how many voltage should the capacitor be (NB: i don't know wat is the current of the transformore :smile:



3. i have done the bridge and its working

1. Why do you think this will give you 12v DC?
2. I don't understand your question.
 
hey

ok ill try to explain i have a transformer its from 220V to 12v i did a diode bridge for it and i measured the voltage by the multymeter it shows 12 v. but the thing is i need to add a capacitor to the bridge and a resistor to decrease the ripple and i donno how much the capacitor should be how many farad and how much its voltage
