Capacitor Filter Operation

Capacitor filter. Fig. shows a typical capacitor filter circuit. It consists of a capacitor C placed across the rectifier output in parallel with load RL. The pulsating direct voltage of the rectifier is applied across the capacitor. As the rectifier voltage increases, it charges the capacitor and also supplies current to the load. At the end of quarter cycle …
