Ok, I need to make a 3 individual 240v/6VDC power supplies for 3 military radios. They dont require much in the way of amperage, and dont require regulation (military stuff is VERY forgiving).
So if I have 2-1000uf capacitors smoothing the 240vdc supply after a full wave rectifier, should I place a 1ohm resistor across each of the electrolytic capacitors to make certain that they actually do a good job of smoothing?
On a full wave bridge rectifier, do you think 2000uf will do the trick for smoothing??
PS, Im using a "BRUTE FORCE " supply (Transformer, Rectifier, Capacitors) rather than using an inverter, to keep stray noise from the supply
