If you have a high volage transformer 120vac to 2000vac then a 1/2 wave rectifier (diode) is in series to change to dc and then a large nonpolar capacitor that is in parallel with the item that it discharges to... is it ok to have the return to the other side of the capacitor? See attached sketch in the file.
Can someone explain to me what happens inside the capacitor to make this work without a connection to neutral or ground? Maybe the capacitor can reuse the leftovers? or does it connect to neutral somehow through the transformer... I'm trying to learn more about circuits so I appreciate any help.
