hi,
I'm a little confused when and when not take in account the peak voltage,
i understand that when i use pure DC i dont need to worry about the peak voltage value but if I'm working with AC voltage like in power supply applications i must take peak value in account, my question is at what point peak voltage dissapear? or no longer exists? ie, in a power supply application that converts AC to DC and "reduce" the AC voltage u use a bridge rectifier and some capacitors, to choose the rigth capacitor filtering i need to take in account the AC voltage(ripple?) but after capacitor filtering an AC voltage not exist any more so, theres no more a peak voltage?
with pure dc voltages like batteries?.
am i right? how i deal with peak voltage or when the peak voltage dont exists any more.
please excuse my poor english
