I am a licensed Master Electrician with only a GED for formal education, but am excited to see if I can learn some knowledge essential to completing a 12 KW DC power supply.

I'm utilizing an SCR power controller to change the voltage feeding the primary of a 240/120 Volt 60 Hz 15KVA power transformer. That in turn goes through a 100A fuse and into a full-wave bridge rectifier. Here is where I am struggling. I cannot figure out what values for capacitors and inductors to allow for a nearly ripple free DC power supply of 120-140 VDC at nearly 100 Amps. Any ideas from you most knowledgeable individuals?
