[ X_C = \frac12\pi f C ]

: If dropper capacitor fails shorted, full mains voltage appears at output, destroying load and creating fire risk. asaan converter

Parallel to C to discharge when unplugged: ( R_bleed = 1M\Omega ). [ X_C = \frac12\pi f C ] :

where ( f ) = line frequency (50/60 Hz), ( C ) = dropper capacitor. full mains voltage appears at output

Assuming full-wave, the RMS input current equals output DC current (approx).

[ C = \frac12\pi f X_C = \frac12\pi \times 50 \times 4360 \approx 0.73 \mu F ]

[ X_C = \fracV_in,RMS - V_zI_out = \frac230 - 120.05 \approx 4360 \Omega ]
