Hi, i did an AC-DC converter (see attachment) but when i put a probe on the out i don't have any signal,. Can you help me?
Thanks in advance

You have used a schematic symbol for the bridge rectifier that has no simulation model associated with it.

hi andy i built the bridge with 4 diodes; I used a Vmax ac 56v (f=50hz), Rl=45k and the circuic working correctly, but when i put a C> 800microF,Vout is instable: why? if i increase the capacity Vout should be more stable.
Thanks in advance, best regard
Your project is private so only you can see it so I am guessing what might be happening.
I suspect you are running the simulation with unsuitable time values.
If you are running the simulation with a mains frequency of `F` then set the Stop Time to about `10/F` or less if the smoothing cap has charged up sooner.
Set your (Stop Time)/(Max Timestep) to 1000.
You also need more than 1V peak to peak from V1.
The forward drop of a bridge rectifier with silicon diodes is between about 1V to 2V depending on the load current!
