Quoted from Bmad21:The first Stage is that the current is stepped down, by the use of transformers, I am going to boil it down. we have been told to us that their is a relationship between current and magnetism and the way we translate the two is through inductors.
The transformer steps up or down voltage, that's why you see transformers rated with input and output voltages. The transformer does have power ratings also which is dependent upon the size of the xformer wire and the load placed upon it.
Quoted from Bmad21:On the upswing of the current wave the rectifier will let it through when the current reaches zero from the downswing the bridge will then conduct in away that what should be a valley in the wave now deflects the current back up into a new hill.
You should say on the upswing of the voltage, or downswing for the negative portion of the wave, the rectifier will pass thru the voltage. You could have the capability of 100 amps before the diodes but if you have insufficient voltage the rectifier will pass nothing.
I'm not trying to bust your you know what, but the devil is in the details.
