With a full-wave bridge rectifier, if you use an 8300 uF capacitor, the
volts of ripple will equal the amps of load current. (Don Lancaster
taught me this.)


** The correct value is 6300uF.

Such a cap will drop 1 volt in 6.3mS, the typical discharge time in a full
wave rectifier at 60Hz.

For 50Hz full wave supplies, the value is 7500uF for 1V ripple at 1 amp.
