I put together a spreadsheet to calculate Irms for a power supply. This is
a bit like a simulation, I guess, and like any simulation, you have to
decide what to model and what to ignore. I chose to ignore resistance in
the transformer and filter caps. I did this because I figured it would
just over-estimate the RMS current, which was the main thing I wanted
to find.

Anyway, unless I made some kind of mistake, the result of my "simulation"
is that Irms goes up significantly with capacitor value. In my simulation
I hold Idc constant, since the intent was to design a regulated power
supply. So the efficiency goes down with increasing capacitor value.

I am definitely interested in this topic, so if you can shed some light on
it, I would be appreciative.

Include the effect of winding resistance in your
simulation or analysis. It will do more than just
get the result better aligned with real circuits. It
will also show the limiting value of Irms as the
filter capacitance approaches infinity. That does
not show up at all without the resistance. If you
search my posts on rec.audio.tech, you could
find that analysis already done, if you're not doing
this for fun or education.

Have fun.

Phil is/was much more creative and somewhat less repetitive
as a spew generator. I've tried to shame Fred into improving
his repetoire, but he is too educated already to go for that.

I don't waste time playing games with these smart-mouthed trolls like Larry Brasfield. In order to keep the response time to 100ms
or less, I first scan the post for any technical content whatsoever by looking for words like noise, gain, level etc...this takes
no time because there are none.
From somebody who refuses to point out any specific
errors in my recent noise analysis in the "amplify 40kHz"
thread, which definitely contains the words "noise" and
"gain", that is a comical lie. As for the "100ms" [sic],
your copy and paste efforts are unlikely to impress any
sane individual. That you brag about it marks you.

Failing this preliminary test, I snip the whole mass of worthless gibberish and paste in the main response which succinctly states
he should get to the technical gist of the thread or just shut up and go away. I refuse to waste any time decoding any type of
subjective and off topic idiocy coming from that deranged nobody- he sticks to the technical topic or gets slapped-period.
LMAO. So far, you have refused every invitation to
say why the additional noise sources you yammer [1]
about could possibly be detected within the input
noise you natter at me about. Likewise, your guess
at a 115 dB gain for the circuit, which nobody else
can replicate, and which I politely challenged, remains
as yet another instance of your unadmitted errors.

If you *could* stick to the technical topic, you would
be more appreciated and appear less foolish.

If you ignore the resistances in the circuit, you get absurdly low
conduction angles and huge peak diode currents.
Anyway, unless I made some kind of mistake, the result of my "simulation"
is that Irms goes up significantly with capacitor value.
It does if you start from small values, giving unrealistically high
ripple levels at the output. 60 to 80% with resistances included; you
would get much larger values.

In my simulation
I hold Idc constant, since the intent was to design a regulated power
supply. So the efficiency goes down with increasing capacitor value.
I chose an inappropriate measure of efficiency for most purposes.
Pout/Pin is better.

You're the dodger pretending to have not understood that you were called

your trivial 4KTRB trash was in error- you were asked to do something

That statement really makes no sense to me. How can you crowd the same
charge transfer into less time and get its RMS value to decrease? (For
conceptual simplification, assume the DC current taken from the bridge
is constant, so that the charge, (Idc * (2 f)), is held constant.
(That should be Idc / (2 f), incidentally.)

I re-examined my models. With a refinement of one, I can predict the
*small* increase reported by someone else. The original model assumed
that the output ripple was negligible, thus restricting the range of
filter capacitor values. If you include in the range of capacitor
values, those so small that very large amounts of ripple occur, and the
conduction angle approaches 180 degrees, you get much more change of
r.m.s current, but so much ripple is not normally realistic.

Your analysis is consistent with one assuming infinite
capacitance. I more or less agree that this can be a
reasonable assumption in many cases. But there is a
case that I believe will often benefit from the finite C
model (and analysis). That is where the unregulated
supply is expected to have significant ripple because
some switching converter(s) follow(s) it. You do
not have to get close to the 180 degree conduction
angle to get significant RMS current reduction when
more ripple is allowed. As I recall, the RMS value
of the charging current, (when holding DC current
constant), varies close to inversely with conduction
angle. (The charging pulse shape changes a bit, so
the relationship is not exact, but it is good enough
for deciding where to initially set things.)

I'm curious. Who are the morons that write the sofware that does this:

I've left out of town jobs and just withdrew whatever money was left in
the bank or wrote a check to my permanent account.

I may leave a few
pennies. The bank decides to charge a service fee each month for being
below the minimun balance. The account goes negative and the program
charges a fee for non-sufficient funds. Then I can't open an account
elsewhere until I wake them up.

I don't know what happens in USA, but you could get the same aggro in UK
if you wrote a cheque instead of instructing the bank to 'close the
account and transfer the funds to ...'. That way, the account is erased
from the computer, so it can't send you daft messages (probably).

I use mail forwarding services and nothing ever gets addressed to my
out of town addr except the temporary stuff. I'd never get the daft
messages. What happens is they report you to Check Systems which
makes it look like you wrote a bad check and owe the bank. So other
banks won't let you open an account. I wouldn't bitch if I really
had written a bad check.

The reason I didn't close the account is because of the bad taste
left in my mouth in the past. They want to see all checks that
haven't cleared, meaning that if you don't save any voided checks,
they can't account for them and won't close the account.

I'd love to find a better solution, but for now, I save every voided
check.
It's a PITA, but what's worked for me in the past is to make sure that
the last check drawn on the account takes it down to _precisely_
$0.00.

That seems to work in the states.

I wrote checks on my account, exactly down to zero while paying bills,
thinking nothing of it.

Went to the bank to make a deposit and was told the account
automatically closed.

They reinstated the account, but I've very careful to avoid hitting
exactly zero again.

Choosing capacitor values is a bit tricky, too. The bigger they are, the
more they force the transformer into a low duty-cycle, high-current mode
of operation.

In fact, the overall efficiency, measured as Idc/Irms, is higher at low
rectifier conduction angles, even though the peak diode current is
higher. A large filter capacitor doesn't increase transformer heating.


That statement really makes no sense to me.
How can you crowd the same charge transfer
into less time and get its RMS value to decrease?
[snip]

I'm with Larry on this one. If we draw a box around the capacitor and
regulator, then the charge going into the box, integrated over one period
has to equal the charge coming out of the box, integrated over one period.
This is just conservation of charge.

The integral of the charge going out is fixed, because we have a linear
regulator. So as we reduce the conduction angle, we must have a larger
current for a shorter time, and because of the nature of the RMS
calculation, it seems to me that it is impossible for Irms to go down when
we do this. What am I missing?

I don't think "impress" is the word for it- elementary trig integration

What I can see so far from your generalizations of the results is that
it is not very sophisticated and your understanding is pretty basic-

I read in sci.electronics.design that Mac <foo@bar.net> wrote (in

needed', on Sat, 19 Mar 2005:

Choosing capacitor values is a bit tricky, too. The bigger they are, the
more they force the transformer into a low duty-cycle, high-current mode
of operation.

In fact, the overall efficiency, measured as Idc/Irms, is higher at low
rectifier conduction angles, even though the peak diode current is
higher. A large filter capacitor doesn't increase transformer heating.


That statement really makes no sense to me.
How can you crowd the same charge transfer
into less time and get its RMS value to decrease?

I'm with Larry on this one.
Thanks.

If we draw a box around the capacitor and
regulator, then the charge going into the box, integrated over one period
has to equal the charge coming out of the box, integrated over one period.
That's a fine way to approach it. The concept
you just outlined of some components grouped
together for simpler analysis is known as a "cutset".

....
The integral of the charge going out is fixed, because we have a linear
regulator. So as we reduce the conduction angle, we must have a larger
current for a shorter time, and because of the nature of the RMS
calculation, it seems to me that it is impossible for Irms to go down when
we do this.
Actually, as you state this, (and I also suggested),
we are both a bit incorrect, hypertechnically.
The average value and the RMS value of a signal
taken over a fixed period are independent except
for the constraint |Savg| <= Srms .

But for the signals in question, you are correct.

What am I missing?
Your newsfeed appears to be little slow.
There have been several posts on this over
the last hour or so.
