# Rectifier voltage and heat estimate
# Scope: Full-wave bridge diode loss using constant forward drop.
# Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending.
# Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards.

load = 2 A
forwardDrop = 0.7 V

loss := 2*forwardDrop*load [W]

check bridge loss budget: loss <= 4 W

scenario alternative: load = 1.6 A
