Non-linear transformer, rectifier, 20ohm load, steady state response

The same model as in the previous example is used:
 

    * Main voltage
    V1 1 2 0V SIN 0V 312V 50HZ

    * Graetz
    D1 6 8 DN4001
    D2 7 8 DN4001
    D3 0 6 DN4001
    D4 0 7 DN4001
    .MODEL DN4001 D (IS=1.4N RS=0.04 N=1.7 TT=5U CJO=55P VJ=0.34 MJ=0.38 BV=75)

    * Capacitor
    C 8 0 1000UF

    * Load
    RB 8 0 20

     
Steady-state response for H
Steady state response, H(t) [A/m]. Time is measured in [s].  
Steady-state response for B
Steady state, B(t)  [T].

Steady-state response for i1
Steady state response, i1(t) [A]. 
Steady-state response for i2 (current that flows into the secondary coil)
Steady state response, i2(t) [A].
The picture shows when the diodes are open; the transformer provides current.
Note that the magnetization current flows through the primary coil even when the transformer is not supplying current for the load.

Steady-state response for Vrb
Steady state response, uRb(t) [V].
Load voltage. The frequency of the ripple voltage is twice the main voltage frequency.
The voltage ripple is 4V (about 22% of the DC voltage).
This is obviously a useless rectifier. But it is good for learning basics :)

Steady-state response for D1 and D2 current
Diode currents, D1 (iD1(t) [A]) and D2 (iD2(t) [A]).
I won't say this again. You should've remembered it from the previous example.  
Steady-state response for capacitor current
Capacitor current iC(t) [A].
