A single-phase half-wave diode rectifier draws power from a single-phase, 240-V, 60-Hz source and delivers to a 2-kW load on the dc side at constant voltage Vdc with a large filter capacitor as shown in the figure below. The ac side harmonics to fundamental current ratios I_h/I₁ in percentage are 73.2, 36.6, 8.1, 5.7, 4.1, 2.9, 0.8, and 0.4 for h = 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17, respectively. Determine the rms ripple current in the filter capacitor. Ignore all losses.
