The Valve Rectifier
|
|
Without Direct Current (DC) and a valve heater supply (Alternating Current) AC or DC) no radio will work. The following pages will enable you to understand how Valve Rectifier circuits work and because it was written when such circuits were in use will help to interpret the circuits then in common use. Part 1 covers half wave rectification and fullwave rectification and where to fit fuses. Modulation Hum. Peak Inverse Voltage and Inverse Voltage Stress and the Cascade Voltage Doubler. |

Part 4: More Power Rectifier Circuits |
Continuing from Part 1. Progressive Cascading completes the explanation of cascade circuits. Also in this part is: Peaking and Smoothing. Load characteristics and working out the value of smoothing capacitor values. Surge limiting. |
