This analysis assumes an undistorted sinusoidal waveform at the input to the
rectifier, which is not the case if the transformer (or other source) has some
resistance. It might be appropriate for a low power rectifier operating
directly from the grid, but generally not.


Indeed. But this was a number of years pre-CAD. I'd just simulate it
now... might take all of one minute ;-)


Wot? Design by simulation?
Nah, it can't be...
