I have some power transformers that are made specifically for full wave bridge rectifiers. In some cases, I may want to use a 5V filament transformer and hybrid tube/ss diode bridge rectifier. I was wondering what to expect as far as a sag and voltage drop is concerned. Will it drop as much as voltage as the tube alone?  How would I approach calculating it? 

Thank for the help!
