hi thanks for ur kind informaation which u have given,but i want to
know a small detail about bridge rectifier.
DOES THIS BRIDGE RECTIFIER CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE 230VAC/50HZ
SUPPLY ,WITH OUT TRANSFORMER. DOES IT WITH STAND THAT VOLTAGE OR IT
HAS TO ISOLATED.IF IT HAS ISOLATE YELL ME THE ALTERNATE METHOD TO
ISOLATE WITH OUT TRANSFORMER. KINDLY SOLVE THIS PROBLEM


THANK U

The best way is to find the data sheet and look up the PIV rating.

The bodgers method is to connect the rectifier to the mains with a 40W lamp
in series with one of the AC terminals to limit the current if the rectifier
goes S/C.

Of course this does not guarantee that the rectifier will withstand mains
voltage in the long term - you need to have a safety margin. If you put 2
capacitors in series across the + & - terminals with the junction to one of
the AC terminals, this forms a voltage doubler.

A better plan yet is to use a resistor to limit current instead of the lamp
(33k/2W for 110V or 2x 33k/2W for 230V) this should limit the current to the
point that if the PIV is exceeded, the rectifier's leakage current will halt
the voltage rise - which you can then measure.

Or Vrrm as they tend to call it these days.

Whyy DID they change it ? IEC probably.

AND don't forget to allow an extra say 50% on top for transients.
