I tried updating rectifiers.txt, and adding a new rectifier online, then downloaded rectifiers.txt without making any difference.

Docs are confusing - I have the current version and release notes say: 'Rectifiers are now stored as XML files for easier sharing and updates. '

If only... How can I add a rectifier

I can't see any xml file with psud2.exe.

Hi John,

The old rectifiers.txt file no longer works with PSUD and hasn't for some years, apologies if some parts of the website haven't quite caught up with this yet.

There's a couple of routes you can follow:

1. The help file gives an overview how to do this; Help | Contents | Technical Information | How to add your own rectifier types

2. I did a YouTube video a few years ago which explains how to model new rectifiers and get them into the system. Hopefully the video will give a more detailed explanation on what's needed: Regards

Thanks!

So the answer is that the rectifiers are now stored in name.rect XML files:

Rectifier files are stored in your application data normally in the folder C:\Users\my_name\AppData\Roaming\psud2\rectifiers where?my_name?is your login name for Windows.?

I updated the rectifier database, which allowed me to download rectifiers.txt, but does it feed into the new .rect files?

Thanks!

So the answer is that the rectifiers are now in name.rect files, in the rectifiers folder in:

Yes, correct.

The rectifier database is no longer used as it became a free for all and got filled with junk which didn't make sense and crashed PSUD2. Equally the rectifiers.txt file is no longer used and hasn't been for some years as per my previous reply -> /g/duncanampspsud/message/304


Not sure what you mean when you say updated the rectifier database? If you could let me know, that would give me a better idea of what you're trying to do.

There is no public rectifier database any more, only a private database of rectifiers which have either been created by me or validated by me. This will, in future, feed into PSUD3 and ensure that the core product has a set of rectifiers which work correctly and don't cause issues.

I used the rectifier database: and list: ?
which were accessible a week or so ago,? but are no longer working.

At the time, I didn't look at the 'Download' page on your old site which explains the current situation and links to this site.?

I added a couple of diodes to my own list of rectifiers - in case these are of interest to anyone else...

HFA25PB60.rect is an International Rectifiers fast 25A soft-recovery diode

LQA16T300.rect is a fast 16A Power Integrations diode which should obviate the need for snubbers?
