The minimum required smoothing capacitor is determined as 27.8 mF.
The minimum required smoothing capacitor is calculated as follows;
Ripple amplitude is given as;
[tex]V_R = \frac{I_L}{C_1f_{in}}[/tex]
where;
[tex]C_1 = \frac{I_L}{V_Rf_{in}}\\\\C_1 = \frac{(0.5)}{(300 \times 10^{-3})(60)} \\\\C_1 = 0.0278 \ F\\\\C_1 = 27.8 \ mF[/tex]
