I am trying to design a circuit that is supplied by 24VAC that goes through a choke, capacitors and then a Wheatstone Bridge arrangement of diodes to alter the 24VAC to Direct Current. The load will pull 430 mA max at 5 volts.
Should I choose the diode size by the amount of rectified current or by the forward voltage @ maximum current?
