Suppose I put a single (large) rectifier in series with a resistive
load, say an electric heater for example, across the the two 230 legs
of my 115/230 volt supply? What then?
Heater is half as hot.
Successive half waves of current?
Yes.
Power consumed = half?
Yes.
Effect on utility electric meter?
It reads half.
