    Capacitor Charge time / power

    Thanks Bob, I have also found a calculator using VE1BLL's suggestion. Is there an easy way to approximate a series resistor's dissapation? P=IV will only work when the capacitor is fully discharged & the AC is at full wave (rectified mains).

    Capacitor Charge time / power

    Okay, not that much of a novice. I am building a strobe but this is the first of my own design and I'd rather not cook resistors & caps / my variac in trial and error ;)

    Capacitor Charge time / power

    Hi all! Im a novice electronics enthusiast. Im charging a capacitor bank from a 350V supply. The total capacitance is 940uF. I want to be able to approximately calculate how long this will take with different resistors, then juggle the time/resistance to reach a reasonable power figure...
