Re: Source Impedance Calculator for FULL WAVE RECTIFIER, Measured Data, Secondary, Winding resistance value
Hi, you just measure one half. As you say, they are likely to be different; I would recommend measuring across both (red to red) and dividing by 2 for our purposes (both volts off-load and ohms).

Source Impedance Calculator for FULL WAVE RECTIFIER, Measured Data, Secondary, Winding resistance value
( *red-ct-red* )? For full wave rectifier, do we enter the measured full ( *red-red* ) Secondary winding's DC resistance into the Secondary winding resistance field of the Calculator?? Or, do we

Regarding the offline transformer voltage to use. When I have the actual transformer, I measure the actual secondary open circuit voltage. With the transformer already in the circuit, which I think is

Hi Jonah, The thump is to be expected - the CLC filter is a resonant item. Solid state rectifiers apply power straight away and the sudden increase in voltage to the system causes the CLC filter to

Re: New to PSUD2 and modeling from a schematic...
Thanks for the clarification regarding off-load voltage and rated voltage. About the current draw... the schematic is for a stereo amp so I estimated around 96mA for two 6V6 and two EF86. The arrow at

Re: New to PSUD2 and modeling from a schematic...
I can see a couple of potential issues: 1. The transformer voltage should be the off-load voltage rather than the rated voltage. If you can't find out from the transformer manufacturer, try taking the

Hi! I'm new to PSUD and practicing on a model of an existing circuit. For the life of me, I can't get the voltages to agree. All the values seem to be right but the voltages are coming up considerably
