Hello!
Hope someone want to help me a little bit. I was wondering, when I view schematics of a full bridge rectifier, the smoothing capacitor always seem to be non-polarized. I guess that is to let the output of the cap go into the positive rail of the rectifier output. Is that a correct assumption ? And in that case, would it be possible to use a polarized cap in series with a diode instead? Or would the voltage drop be too significant for that to work?
Thanks in advance
