Hello
Please could someone answer a simply question about bridge rectifiers.
I have a point switching circuit for a model railway and according to the data sheet it requires an input of 15v AC. However looking at the circuit diagram this AC is passed straight away into a bridge rectifier so the rest of the circuit basically runs on DC.
I only have a 15v DC PSU available and so can I connect this instead, I am assuming that the DC will pass straight through the rectifier? Also does it matter how I connect the polarity of the DC PSU to the circuit, will the circuit side of the rectifier still output +ve and ground to the circuit as required?
Is this all correct please?
