Before I have explained the formula for calculating and optimizing resistor and capacitor values in a transformerless power supply, it would be important to first summarize a standard transformerless power supply design. Referring to the diagram, the various components involved are assigned with the following.

You are always consuming power to charge and discharge a capacitor, this power is dissipated by the resistor. Comparing the energy stored by the capacitor this is the same as the energy dissipated on the resistance,
The power dissipated by resistor is given by, $$mathrm{P=I^{2}R=frac{V^{2}}{R}}$$ In this article, we discussed in detail about the three most basic electric circuit elements namely resistor, inductor and capacitor. From the above discussion, it is clear that a resistor dissipates the electrical energy in the form of heat which
The bleeder resistors are intended to keep the voltages on the capacitors roughly balanced. OK so far, but this seems rather extreme. The resistors will draw ½ A with 1 kV in! That''s 500 W of power, and each resistor
A resistor (R1) also connected parallel with this capacitor for removes the stored current from the capacitor when the circuit is unplugged from the mains supply. This resistor is
Added a 100uF electrolytic capacitor in parallel with the power supply to help with any potential current draw the power supply would be too "slow" to deal with. Added a 4.7K resistor from VCC to RESET. Added a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor
A series RC circuit is an important electrical circuit that comprises a resistor and a capacitor connected in series with a power source. The behavior of a series RC
The resistor appears to be in parallel with your power supply. As long as the PSU can supply the required current, and the resistor can dissipate the power, it won''t interfere with the rest of the circuit. The 0.1 to 1 Ω resistor
A Capacitor Power Supply runs on the capacitor in order to interface among a "high voltage supply" and a low voltage - called THE POWER SUPPLY. In case you placed a resistor between the capacitor and "ground,"
Lab 1: Resistor-Capacitor Circuits This lab covers the basic characteristics of RC circuits, including both DC and AC analysis, simulation, and experimentation. It is a powerful all-in-one
Each resistor with its associated capacitor forms a low-pass filter on the supply line. 10 ohms with 10 uF will give you a cutoff frequency of about 1.6kHz. This will help the op-amp (assuming this is an op-amp) reject any high frequency noise on supply and keep it from getting to the output.
Think about removing the capacitor P from your circuit. You have just capacitor Q and resistor R in series (with switch closed). What happens? As the capacitor charges up the current falls, the voltage across the resistor drops, eventually to zero. Capacitor Q has 9v across it. Now connect capacitor P in parallel with R, what happens? Nothing.
power (< 1 W) power supplies e.g. needed for Smart devices like light switches or power meters and ambient sensors (temperature, light) for smart home applications. The critical design component in a capacitive power supply is the input capacitor. In theory class X2 capacitors are electrically suited for that but this is not the intended use of
Power supply capacitors are also used by switching power supplies as the bulk capacitor and at the output for control stability and holdup. Capacitors at these locations, when also coupled with inductors, can also be configured as low pass LC filters for ripple voltage reduction on the output, and ripple current reduction on the input, and for averaging the
Actually I don''t understand why a resistor and capacitor was inserted parallel to the input of the AC power supply. Additionally, the resistor is exploding, but the fuse is solid yet. The resistor is used to discharge a

Make sure that the ''Discharge'' button is either recessed or needs some force to activate. An accidental press could damage the power supply if it''s still working, and will also cause the discharge resistor to get very hot, very quickly. With a
Transformerless power supplies provide a low-cost alternative to transformer-based and switcher-based power supplies. The two basic types of transformerless power
Here we will see how to design a capacitor dropper power supply. Capacitor power supplies are simple, low cost and light weight solution for providing dc supplies to
Unlike resistive type power supply, heat generation and power loss is negligible in capacitor power supply. But there are many limitations in capacitor power supply. It
This circuit has a 15 ohm resistor in series with the 12-15v power supply line, just before the 10uF decoupling capacitor. (It is from an RF preamp design in "LF Today," a book for radio amateurs using frequencies below 1

Bleeder Resistor Definition: A bleeder resistor is a standard resistor used to safely discharge capacitors in a high-voltage power supply when the device is turned off. Safety Purpose : Bleeder resistors prevent accidental
The resistor must be capable of withstanding the full supply voltage and capacitor charging current at start up, which usually means using 1W devices or better, even though the average
With 12Vdc drawn from 230Vac, you have a current-limit by 100Ω and 2.2uF @ 100Hz = -j800 Ohms for an apparent current of ~170 mA . with 230mA rms thru 100 Ohms the power dissipation is I^2R-Pd=5.3W exceeding
• Choosing a zener diode and resistor: • The zener voltage Vz is the output voltage required • The input voltage Vs must be a few volts greater than Vz (this is to allow
The power efficiency can be easily improved if we look at the power losses generated at the input series resistor (Rin), the bleeder resistor (Rbleed), and the Zener Diode.
This is a power rail, so I''ll assume it is a decoupling capacitor. Pin 15 is VREG_OUT - Power Regulator output (1.8 V while awake, 0 V during deep sleep). After a few Google search attempts I was not satisfied with the responses or lack thereof.
Battery Power Applications ABSTRACT A common method to improve the stability and bandwidth of a power supply is to use a feedforward capacitor, which is a capacitor placed across the high-side feedback resistor. This capacitor adds a zero and a pole (fZ < fP) to the control loop, which can be strategically placed to improve the phase margin and

If you replace that capacitor with a "equivalent resistor" with a real impedance R equal to the absolute impedance Z of that capacitor, "the same" (RMS AC) current would flow through that resistor as through your original
