- Homework Statement
- I have designed a non isolated circuit meant to input a high voltage with AC, then filter the AC to DC with an inductor, a capacitor and a full wave rectifier.
Then it has to step down the high voltage through a transformer. The circuit has an R-L-C on its input side. It works and fits its purpose but i have to measure its efficiency.
- Relevant Equations
- P=VI
P= Vrms / Z
I know how to calculate the power output and input by analyzing the current in put and output with multimeters and using the formula P=VI. But P_out is obviously incomparably smaller than P_in so the efficiency would suck this way. Is there a better way to do this??
