I see there are many rectifiers with different reverse voltage. I have implemented a circuit of 2 X sin wave with 50V and 800 hz 180 degree phase shift and other one with 0 degree phase shift. I used four schottky diode and smoothing cap of 100ouf load of 18 ohm. i get 11V output. Can I please know what's the formula ? when I change the diode my output changes.
