1. I have two ac sources(from mains & generator) & have to run a circuit from it for which I need dc supply
I had connected a bridge rectifier to each source. After that each output is shorted.
2. Circuit is attached. It Actual circuit also has regulator & othe stuff, which i didn't show, I had only connected Rload & C.
3. There may be three cases: Only main available, only generator available, or both are available.
4. Is the circuit attached is safe.
5. I think problem may arrive when both ac sources are available.
Also it could be one may be at different angle then other. Like if first ac source have crest, other couls have trough or at some phase from each other.

 

I think it will take the current from the highest source voltage at any moment. I'm not sure how wise it is to be rectifying mains voltages though, looks dangerous to me and might go against forum rules.

 

In principle, the setup is OK, But very unsafe.

The load is electrically floating and all parts are live. You cannot earth, even accidentally, any part of the "load".

You need to use 1:1 isolation transformers from the 2 sources to avoid accidental electr0cution.
