Hello, I'm in the process of designing a PCB for a simple dual polarity unregulated power supply and I have a question regarding zones and traces. The PSU is designed to supply 4A and 40V on each of the two rails. There are two 10mF capacitors implemented to avoid ripple. So through each of the caps there will be 4A of current and I chose the width of 2mm and did quite a thick zone around the cap.
My question is: do you think it's okay to use zone or will it affect the current too much, and is 2mm enough or should I go for more sience it's really huge capacitors? I'm using 3.9k resistors to discharge capacitors
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
