Question Transformer Voltages in Duncan’s PSU Designer II

Transformer Voltages in Duncan’s PSU Designer II

Right have I got this right?
Transformer
240vin 0-230 rms out 230v x 1.414 = 325.22v
Do I subtract 10% regulation from the 325volts? 292.698v
Entering 292 into PSU Designer II
Transformer resistants
Add together primary /secondary for total resistants

No, enter 230v 10% regulation, let it work out the 1.414 if thats correct for the config you have chosen.

I'm still confused

Enter the voltage for the secondary of the transformer. Note that this must be the off-load voltage, which is generally higher than the rated voltage of the transformer.

off load voltage
230v rms x1.414= 325

No, thats not the off load voltage, thats the peak voltage of a 230v RMS sine wave. The off load voltage would be along the lines of 230 * 1.10 = 253v

What I meant was, if you right click on the TX, and edit the setting for it, then click the button next to the RMS V. You can enter the nominal voltage, the current rating, and the regulation. And it will calculate the off load (same as above) and the resistance of the TX.

Thanks Nick
i seem to get off load and peak voltages mixed up
got it now
Cheers
