DR #11 - How does a Capacitor Filter Ripple Voltage?

In this quick video, I explain how a filter capacitor works, and I use a simple setup and an oscilloscope to demonstrate the effectiveness.

    Hey Nick, would you please make a video on how to test amplifier Transistors in circuit with a multimeter for newbies? How to identify the pairs, how to identify the pins, how to compare a good channel to a bad channel, which supporting resistors and diodes to routinely check if you find a bad one, etc, etc. I'm sure many would find this extremely useful. Love your videos and the way you explain things. Many thanks.

    Nobody has any questions? I have some. I've been searching for info on how to restore and/or improve the electrical components in a solid state Crown D-150 amplifier and possibly doing a recap on my Pioneer SX-580. In searching for the parts of the latter project I came across the Ripple Current stats. Which brings me to my questions. What should I look for when it comes to Ripple Current? Is there a better balance/formula for selecting capacitors than what the engineers came up with for the design? How far can I take it with these projects before I need fancy equipment beyond a multi-meter? I have more questions. But I'll leave these for now. It's helpful to actually see how the signal acts applying the different uF to the circuit. Great video, thank you!

One question, I noticed that your repair videos you almost all the time find the problem and achieve a successful repair. Does that mean you are always able to repair pretty much anything thrown at you, or do you just not publish videos where the repair was not possible? Thanks again and I have subscribed to your channel!

    Only thing I would add is that I would call this smoothing, not filtering. But it does work saying "filtering the ripple" sure, I'm just more comfortable with "smoothing the voltage" so there is little to no ripple. I would use "filter" word for , say, filtering the noise, as in removing the noise, letting clean signal pass .

    Why do we need to straighten up the current signal ? I have 2 power supply units taken out of 2 different computers. I wish to create 24v output from the two units by just taking each 12v output and join each pair of wires. Is this a correct way to get 24v output from the two power supply units ???

    Unfortunately that will not work. The way to make 24V out of 12V is with a step up transformer or a DC to DC boost converter. You’re probably better off buying a new 24V power supply. You can find them for as cheap as $10 on Digi-Key

    Can you use any electrolytic cap as a filter cap or does it have to be designed for filtering

  • @dualityrepair4770

    @dualityrepair4770

    Жыл бұрын

    As long as the capacitor’s voltage rating is well above the supply voltage and the capacitance is sufficient for your application, the electrolytic will work for filtering (very low frequencies). To filter higher frequencies, you’ll want to use a capacitor with a much lower capacitance than what electrolytics can offer.

    Nick, what happens if you insert all of the smaller capacitors into the breadboard? Is the output the result of all of them or just one of them, or what?

    If they’re connected in parallel, it would be like having one capacitor installed with a capacitance equal to the sum of all of the capacitors.

    2 or 3 capacitors in parallel will certainly give you more capacitance than just 1, but unless more capacitance is required, 1 will do just fine. It all depends on the demand from the load.

    If by input capacitor you mean in series with a signal, then it’s being used to block DC voltage and to only allow AC to pass. If you mean the capacitor runs from high to low, or from some voltage rail to ground, then it’s being used to smooth the voltage.
