Am I correct in saying that it does not matter if there is a LN
reversal on the input?
It will always have a correct +/- DC voltage.
The DC voltage across the capacitor will be the same, the
difference: one way it will be referenced to neutral, ie close to
ground, and the other will have 230V superimposed on the capacitor
terminals.
I'd assumed Adam meant a bridge rectifier as in
https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws...?fit=331%2C191
but I am prone to be wrong
I saw "full wave rectifier" and thought "single diode". My bad, I
should try reading a little harder.
In which case L-N reversal will make no difference.
Your link is spot on.
And the reason I posted is because I found a LN reversal on a socket
during a EICR.
The tenant was adamant a rectifier would not work.
I was convinced it would (even after a bottle wine of when I posted).
So I asked the collective wisdom of you fine posters.
He clearly doesn't understand what AC stands for, and/or what a
rectifier does.
