Anyone else?
... for a home made inductor that needs to smooth the single phase waveform coming through a bridge rectifier at 48-53V @ 30-225A (selectable on the AC side of the bridge rectifier).
Yup, that could get expensive real quick :-\
They do sell 1.0F capacitors for audio systems, but I'm not so sure the voltage/amperage I'm looking to use would match properly. I think I read that they are rated around 24 volts, I'm looking at using about twice that.
Sounds like a better match...
I am working on a simple conversion for my AC stick welder, to add DC welding capability to it (instead of paying an extra $400 for a pre-built one).
I have most of the wiring worked out, but need help properly sizing the smoothing capacitor.
The design is simple, 48-53V AC (single phase) @...
