Vrip = 1.418V (28,200uF Bank @ 50Hz full bridge so is 4A/2*50*0.0282 = 1.418V) Vout Min = 13.85V. Iload = 4A. Equiv Load resistance 13.85/4 = 3.463Ohm. Using the Capacitor Voltage equation, Vt = Vmax*e^ (-t/RC) Vt is 13.85, Vmax is 15.268, RC is 0.0976. Some rounding errors, but ive calculated that the time for the RC to discharge from Vpk to ...
