| I have received a few emails asking for a transformerless power supply. Here is such a supply. This supply uses no heavy step down transformer and has an extremely low parts count. The circuit can be built very small and can supply small currents for small projects. The major downfall of this supply is that it is not isolated from the AC line and can only supply small currents. |

| can u give us design for transfomerless power supply 230V ac to 24V dc | ||
| looking for a schematic for a resticked space power supply... and as we all know, a transformer to handle this would be huge and too large for the space available in my project... any help would be great... thanks... | ||
| Sir, thanks i read your design tips. It was a nice document. I want to design a transformerless 200mA power supply kindly tell me how much value of capacitor i could used. regards, Moin-ud-din | ||

| Just to remember all that this kind of circuit works by capacitive reactance (C1) and is very limited in terms of current that it can supply. The maximum supplied current can be calculated by Ohm's law I = V/R, where I: represents current, V: voltage (mains in this case), and R: resistence (capacitive reactance in this case Xc). Where Xc=1/(2.Pi.f.C), Xc: capacitive reactance; Pi: 3.14; f: frequency; C: capacitance. As one can see, to increase current is necessary decrease the capacitive reactance (Ohm's Law), and for that we need to increase capacitance (capacitor size). Above 20-30mA this is no longer feasible because the capacitor becomes too big and expensive, so above these currents it is better to choose other method of conversion (Transformer or SMPS- switch mode power supply ). | ||
