No problem with that.I think we're going to have to disagree strongly at this point. A 48VAC secondary translates to 67V DC (48VAC X 1.4, this formula works) when full wave rectified and filtered, providing plenty of headroom.
No problem with that.
It is not so intuitive to understand especially when a meter would really indicate that it is 67V DC on the capacitor.
Aye, 50VDC is the cutoff for EVL (extra low voltage). Beyond that electrocution comes into play.Something that hasn't been talked about here, and SgtWookie mentioned to me. I'm passing it on to ya'll because it is true.
48VDC is dangerous voltage. It is possible to hurt or kill yourself with it. I've seen techs knocked on their butts by it, and if the current goes the wrong way, you could be facing EOL (End of Life).
Be careful with it.
I'm speechless.Like I've said, I've built a lot of them, because I was into electronics before the age of wall warts (bless them). Back in the day designing and building a power supply was de rigueur. I still use the variable I built using a 24V transformer, it goes to 30V quite nicely (after regulator circuitry).
