How to smooth out the pulsation of bulbs through a diode?
Good afternoon. We have this question: a rectifier diode was installed on a group of lighting lines in our entrance, the voltage decreased and a ripple appeared, the bulbs began to flicker. Please advise how to smooth out this ripple as much as possible? Can a smoothing capacitor establish, as one person advised me, if so, which one? Or are there other options? There are 45 lamps in total, each lamp has 60 watts, 9 floors, all on one machine, it has a diode. Thanks in advance!
Hello! This is irrational! Ripples did not appear from the fact that the voltage decreased, but from the fact that one half-wave from the sine remained. By smoothing the ripple, you will increase the current voltage, then there will be no sense in what you did. But if you still want to try to achieve an intermediate result, then place any electrolytic capacitor in parallel with lamps with a voltage of more than 350-400V, select the capacity empirically, you have a rather large load ...
