[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 year ago (4 children) That diagram is just heat with extra steps. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 10 points 1 year ago* I mean, yea. The people designing the AC to DC power supplies often don't care what you use them for, why would they bother putting schematics for a real load on their diagram? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago That's what someone who doesn't understand magic would say. Follow the spell incorrectly and that is indeed all you would get. permalink fedilink source parent [–] InputZero@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) That's what I was thinking. Depending on the supply that'll start a fire. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago It's a basic AC rectifier, the resistor represents an arbitrary DC load. You use similar circuits all the time, though generally with additional failsafes and some mechanism of smoothing out the rectified current. permalink fedilink source parent [–] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 1 year ago* That's not a resistor it's actually a BIG LOAD. The diagram would better show it as a reactive load (usually just a rectangle) since most real loads are reactive. Get it? permalink fedilink source parent
