What’s a voltage doubler?

A voltage doubler uses capacitors and diodes to double the input voltage, but requires add-ons for good quality output. More capacitors can triple or quadruple the voltage. Incorrect installation can cause explosions. A voltage doubler is an electrical device that takes alternating current (AC) as its input and outputs direct current (DC) with twice the […]

What’s a voltage doubler?

A voltage doubler uses capacitors and diodes to double the input voltage of AC to DC. Additional circuitry can triple or quadruple the voltage, but correct configuration is important. Incorrect diode installation can cause an explosion. A voltage doubler is an electrical device that takes alternating current (AC) as its input and outputs direct current […]
