Need some calculation assist for a psu

hi rod! take care - the model may have the OUTPUT figures you want, but they are predicated on the inputs - and all I see so far for the spec of your transformer is the 200-0-200 voltage. You need to KNOW either its inductance OR its specified current and regulation ratings as well - they are input into the transformer specs and from that the effective resistance/inductance of the transformer is worked out - and that affects the voltage output at any load.

So, if you haven't already, take a look at the transformer's specifications and put that data onto the PSUD2 design to get a more accurate picture.

Also, the screenshot shows the voltages across C1 and hence also C2 still rising at 10 seconds in. That would imply a very high impedance power supply - not a good thing. Have a play and see if you can get the supply to be stable and within spec at between 2 and 4 seconds.

Cheers
