Hi
This might be a stupid question, but if so, think of me as a cow on a large field chewing on grass looking at you throug my brown innocent cow eyes.
I have som trouble finding a way to calculate how much ripple current my smooth capacitor should be rated for while using an 15V/35VA transfomer phused to its edges. The transformer output is bridge rectified. I have tought of using som "United chemi-con" caps in the MVY series (smt) with 2200uF /35V but this is rated for app. 1,750mA ripple current, and i think that is a bit to little. However, I dont seem to remember how to calculate my needs. Any tip will do, if so only pointing to some online tutorials.
Thanks
