Default Cap value for timing circuit

peak = RMS * sqrt(2) = 110 * 1.414 ~ 155V

This is for half-wave rect.?

Thanks.



Yes, under no load either peak of a sine wave defines the maximum (absolute)
value for voltage across a capacitor. Full wave rectification just means more
energy and less ripple present for a given load.
