Current intensity<br />

Electronic devices work internally with direct-current voltage (DC).<br />

To get this DC, the mains AC voltage is brought to the desired<br />

intensity by means of a transformer. Then it is rectified via diodes and<br />

smoothened with capacitors. The capacitors are loaded at the voltage<br />

peaks and save the current. The electronic equipment is supplied with<br />

this stored current between the voltage peaks.<br />

This occurs 100/120 times per second (50/60Hz). <strong>In</strong> this process, the<br />

capacitors are loaded in a fraction of a second with the entire energy<br />

they must hold available and supply for the remainder of the time. <strong>In</strong><br />

this fraction of a second, a multiple of the rated current flows and<br />

reaches intensities of up to three-digit (!) amperes. At insufficient<br />

contact points it causes considerable voltage losses, and thus<br />

dynamics and sound losses<br />
