Hi
I have a rated 525v 30uF Ac capacitor that I want to discharge into a load (coil). I am using a battery as a source, using a chopper circuit, a 12vto
120 v transformer to a full bridge rectifer rated 1000v. everything seems to be ok at this point. Althought I am not getting any discharge from the capacitor. I let the capacitor charge before dumping it top the coil. I guess I don't have enough charge to creat a great enough current. My question is, how do I calculate the charge I need (in farads) to I could get a discharge ? tried fidling around with with v=dQ/dt=I R but I did not find anything I could use 30uF was a a ball park figure, it does take a little while to charge so I assumd it would be powerful enoughken
