Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Capacitor Sizing in Power Supplies

Jack: Unless you are building military-contract gear with specifications
written by someone who works in the Pentagon and has no clue of the
difference between an electrolytic capacitor and an Electrolux
carpet-cleaner, nor ever saw either; or, are building high-end audio gear for
professional sound-mixing/recording, a very simple rule of mathematical-thumb
is all the "math" you need: 1000 uF per AMP is all you need to worry about
for filltering DC off a full-wave rectumfryer. Uh, rectifer.

Volts? Just as long as the "working-voltage" rating of the cap. is equal-to
or more-than the max.-for-two-seconds duration or more than your cap. will
ever "see", then "volts" ain't got nuttin to DID wif da "math" here.

Hope this confuses (no one). Jan Rowland, Troll
