Dear all,
After reading this thread: https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/ac-to-dc-adapters-in-series-or-parallel.130515/ I think I have found my answer but I'm not sure enough.
My aim is to charge a capacitor to about 330 / 340 V. I want to do this by rectifying 230Vac, giving me about 325Vdc. Next, I would like to place the output of an AC/DC adaptor (230Vac to 10Vdc) in series with the output of the rectifier. Doing so would give me eventually an electric potential of 325 + 10 = 335Vdc (see figure below). I think I'm allowed to do so but I'm unsure whether I'm doing the internals of the AC/DC adaptor any harm... Could you help me out?
Additionally, if you know better ways to achieve my aim or if you see improvements in the schematic, feel free to comment.
Looking forward to your findings.
Kind regards,
Arjan
