I have a half wave power supply that 120v, 60hz transformer with a 36v sencondary winding. i also have a silicon diode that transform the secondary ac into pulsating dc. what would be the peak voltage of the dc pulses across the load:?: thkx[/b]
If your transformer is 36V RMS when fully loaded, its voltage will rise with no load maybe to 39V. Therefore the peak is root 2, times 39V = 55.1V minus about 0.7V for the diode. Maybe in down under, transformer output voltages don't increase when not fully loaded. :lol:

I stand corrected, the 36V will be when loaded. I blame it on this cold winter weather were getting down here making my brain work slower. It's midnight here and the outside temperature has plummeted to 14C :shock:
14 degrees, we hardly even get that over here. It rains and is always cold, a lot colder than 14. :lol: If it never when below 14 here I would not mind so much about the gov wrecking our country.
last winter here was very long
it wasnt the most severe , but seemed like it would never stop..
it is spring now and yesterday was a beautiful 70 F 8)
but today is overcast and cooler.. :lol:
hehe just sayin..
