My AC source is 230 V 50 Cycle.
I have quite a few voltage adapters that function ONLY on 110 Volt. Rather than use a Transformer 230 V to 110 Volt I thought of using Capacitive
voltage divider. Using TWO 0.47 Uf X2 capacitors and 1K ohm resistor,( all in series) I manged to get 110 Volt AC on the second capacitor.
Here is the problem When I use my Electronic Load with an 110 volt / 9 volt dc and 2 AMP Adapter As soon I start increase the load the voltage drop dramatically and get no current.
But when I use Normal transformer (230/110) and connect the same adapter It works flawlessly and give me the 2 AMP.
So I concluded that capacitive voltage divider has serious draw backs. Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
