Hello,
I made a circuit to convert AC to DC. It looks like this.
http://openbookproject.net/electricCircuits/Semi/03267.png
My output DC voltage is around 5 volts. Could someone please explain to me how I could figure out the current running through each of the phases at a given time given a certain DC current (For example let's say 1 A DC)?
I'm tempted to say that each phase would have 0.33 A_rms going through it (assuming 1 A DC), but I'm not sure if that is right.
An equation or any help would be most helpful. Thanks
-edit, I've also though that, given the following picture, maybe only 1 phase at any given time has current going through it, and it it is equal to the DC current. This seems like a better solution, but I'm not sure.
