Re: gEDA-user: OT: help needed; asymmetric load after rectifier seems to disrupt its working.

[DJ Delorie <dj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you put two capacitors in series, there's no way to know what the
voltage between them will be.  You have three with a common central
connection Vx.  V1 acts to charge the node, the loads act to discharge
it, so an unequal load means unequal discharging and thus nonzero
average node voltage.

Since D1 and D2 may have different average currents through them, Vx
will adjust until the average current through R2 is the same as the
net current throuth the two diodes.

Can you split the filter into two filters, one for each load?  or at
least move C1 to the Vx side of the filter, and split it into two
capacitors?
