Instead of only using a capacitor bank on the dc side of a rectifier to reduce the ripple, can I use an a bank of Ac caps in parallel to the rectifier as well?
I have some 450vac 300uF caps on hand I would use. I may have only 3-4 of them in a box in the closet.
I would imagine that the phase lag would already reduce the Vp- p ripple but maybe my understanding of the phase lag is skewed.
Im away from my bench right now and will just test this later but if someone knows off hand before then, I am intertested to hear.
Thanks
