Capacitors do NOT smooth current. They reduce or eliminate voltage fluctuations.nottooo.. Holy pulse capacitors. Batman!! Wanna try blowing something to hell?? Or maybe a good Marx generator will do. Or a huge, charged pulse cap. Wouldn't "reducing voltage fluctuations" also cause the current to be "smoothed" as well? Simple Ohm's law would say yes. If voltage peaks or "fluctuations" are reduced, then so too would be the instantaneous currents associated with the circuit that said "reduced fluctuation" voltages are passing though. Yes, but you are confusing cause and effect. Absolutely not. The term "smoothing cap" is valid, and has been in use in the power supply industry for decades. The ****ing "effect" doesn't matter. Both voltage ripple as well as current ripple is reduced. The whole point of capacitors on a voltage source is to keep the voltage constant, effectively lowering the power source internal resistance, under a changing load, which means the current changes with the load; it isn't "smoothed". What exactly do you call "keep the voltage constant", other than "smoothing"? Regulation, which is something different. I'll agree that regulation is somewhat different, but this isn't regulation. The big capacitors in a power supply remove the ripple component by virtue of forming a simple RC low pass filters. ....smoothing the voltage waveform. Before most of the people here were born, I highly doubt it. the output section of a DC power supply was invariably a Pi filter with two shunt "condensors" and a series inductor. DIfferent requirements = different filters. In case you hadn't noticed, there aren't many tubes being used anymore either. With the availability of cheap, high value capacitors, the Pi section and heavy, expensive inductor were replaced with one big ass capacitor and people stopped going through the calculations to come up with the optimal Pi section at the least cost. ...and your point is? It's really just a different calculation. You haven't a clue what you are talking about. The current signatures of many of my power supply designs state that you are incorrect. If you spend years characterizing power supplies, you understand. I retired from designing and characterizing power supplies years ago. Perhaps you were too quick in forgetting what you did? Not likely, DC power supply design is trivial for the most part. Perhaps your designs were trivial, however not all are. The only non-trivial one I was involved with was a 3 phase switcher that put out 35 volts with a 100 amp pulse load with millvolts ripple and the only non-trivial problem with that was reliable start up sequencing. Try a multi-kA +1.25V/-3V three-phase phase-controlled regulator if you want start-up problems. ...but I still don't know what this has to do with the topic at hand, Perhaps you haven't, and hence, you don't. Perhaps you are just a foul mouthed snot. Well, now there you got me. Indeed. -- Keith |
