Does anyone know of equations to predict conduction angle of a power transformer given configuration (such as C-L-C) with all needed values known and a load resistance? I can find equations for predicting ripple, but nowhere can I find equations to predict conduction angle.
I'm familiar with the equation for critical inductance for a choke input filter, and I know that PSUD2 exists (only runs in Windows, which I don't use). I don't think PSUD2 models conduction angle, anyway (if I'm wrong please let me know and I'll get a Windows computer).
If anyone can help, that would be appreciated.
If no one has any leads, we're going to install three identical capacitors, then hook up 1, 2, and then 3 of them, measure behavior using a 'scope, and note transformer temperature rise, and attempt to write an equation empirically.
Thanks!
