Unregulated Power PCB

[luvdunhill]

Well, it turns out that to fit this project where I want it to go, I have to separate the boards.

So, here's the AC input filter. Any suggestions? What about the location of the ground loop breaker (under the choke, and output "between" the transformer output)?

Thanks!

Lol - I hadn't seen the original thread - this is how just about all my projects go, in 5 month increments as time permits. Looks like a useful PCB. I would probably be in if there is a GB.

In addition to L-N MOVs you might consider N-G and L-G MOVs to nail common mode spikes.

cool. I snuck them in after the fuse, to earth (not ground). Had to move R1 under the board, but it's not the end of the world... I'll probably make up a few at this point.
