Hi, Please, could I use a half-bridge diode circuit to power this buck power supply ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZXY6005-DC-DC-60V-voltage-and-current-constant-power-supply-module-/190649685203?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c639b54d3 This power supply accepts 62VDC input, so if I use one rectifier diode to rectify 120Vac home's power (decay to ~ 54Vdc), it will work ? 120Vac -> 1 rectifier diode -> 54Vdc -> Buck DC-DC power supply. Thanks.

PLUS - you have NO SAFETY ISOLATION !!!! For most applications, such a set up would be LETHAL !! Forget it. ..... Phil

Thanks.Oi. Wrong in so many ways. Where should we start? The short answer is, given what you know, don't even try. Learn more about electronics first, then start playing with power from the wall when you're not going to kill yourself, burn your house down, or shock your kids silly. If you don't understand why you can't connect your equipment straight to the wall power without isolation, then you need to learn more about electronics and about how houses are wired for power before you can safely proceed to play with 120V. While it isn't always instantly LETHAL!!!, getting a shock from 120V always hurts a lot, it _can_ kill you on a bad day, and there's a lot of ways that you can build your equipment so that it doesn't kill you or your loved ones, but still burns down your house. Get yourself a copy of the ARRL manual. They've got whole chapters in there on power supply design, electric safety, how houses in North America are wired, and all that useful stuff. Then READ IT. If you don't feel you understand what it says, don't mess around with 120V -- just find a wall-wart that delivers what you need, and be happy. -- My liberal friends think I'm a conservative kook.

Have you been zapped by 120 Vac yet? Keep one hand in your pocket. You can buy a nice linear power supply from Mastek ~50V @3A for a bit more than $100. George H.

Add some for main tolerances. And you would not be insolated form mains.
