  • Patent number: 5089949
    Abstract: A circuit configuration is presented which utilizes diodes, polarized capacitors and a bipolar capacitor to yield a high voltage AC to low voltage DC converter that is virtually free of EMI and which generates little real heat power. This is accomplished by assuring that the voltage reduction circuit components retain the leading current (phase shift) characteristic inherent in capacitive devices. By accomplishing this, the heat dissipation is limited to the product of the current and voltage multiplied by the cosine of the angle between them.
