Default Re: Rectifier

"Thanks all for your help but I think this is to much for me" Please don't get discouraged, we were all begginer's once, and still learning as you see from some of the mistakes I made in this thread. If you order one of these - https://cpc.farnell.com/taiwan-semic...ge%20rectifier or one that Trevor recommended, we can guide you from there, but it really is a simple fix, made a bit confusing by your old BR having five terminals instead of the usual four on most BR's. This in light of whether the old one is dead.

Apologies for the mistakes, of coarse 400v PIV wouldn't be enough, was forgetting PIV rating was in P-P and I thought we were talking about a dropping resistor after the RC filter to drop any excess voltage caused by the different forward V of the old BR and new.
