Hi,
I have did an experiment with diode bridge using 1N4007.
The output of the diode bridge is a 100uF 400V capacitor.
I did not have any other load on the circuit.
Then I turned on the 230Vac power supply.
I thought there will be a rectified Vdc output before I measure,
but I notice the voltage keeps on dropping from 200Vdc down to below 100Vdc.
The voltage keeps on dropping even if I turn off, then on.
The voltage never rise up again
Seems that my component is failing, I guess.
Would appreciate if anyone can advise me on my observation.
Attached is the circuit.
Thank you for your advise.
