RE: Res cap size charge



Original poster: Terry Fritz <teslalist-at-twfpowerelectronics-dot-com>

Hi Luke,

See:

http://www.pupman-dot-com/listarchives/2002/April/msg00038.html

Without losses ( A big leap!!...)

Cltr for a static gap:

Cltr (static gap) = pi/2 x Cres

For a sync gap:

Cltr (sync gap) = pi x Cres

pi = 3.14159265359....

Cheers,

         Terry
