Are such low values for Rs reasonable?
Yes, definitely. See post #5 by EUVL.
Mark, Michi124,
thanks for verification!
I already did the calculations with the same results. As it it these first time I use this experimental approach I was unsure of the value for Rs I got.
Regards,
Michael

Audiomusica, since you doubt your experimental results from No-Math Quasimodo, you have no other choice than to use math for verification.
Your numerical values of fosc (6.25E+5) and Cx (1.0E-8) indicate that the secondary self inductance L is about (6.5E-6) Henrys. We calculate L using the LC resonance equation.
Plugging this value for L into equation (A.11) of the Quasimodo design note, we findThe LC resonance equation: 2 * Pi * fosc = 1 / sqrt(L * C)
Which seems to be in broad agreement with your experimental results. You were wrong to doubt them.R < 12.7 ohms
Mark, this is my result for AMGIS L01-6364, 2x115V / 2x18v / 25VA, and i am confuse because Cs is 3 time Cx and no 15 time like your recommendation,
CX: 0,22uF
CS: 0,68uF
RS: 11 Ohm
fosc ~ 60kHz
I have a very hard time to check and use the Math for verification, by any chance do you have an Excel were we can enter the values we found ( Cx, Cs, Fosc) with the result of RS....for Zeta=1
Just got the PCB today See post Quasimodo 4

Oops ...
After all this time, finally remembered to post my results over here.
😱
Using Hammond 229D40 transformers acquired from Mouser
"My" chosen snubber values are:
0.15uF, 0.01uF and 424ohms (I have a BUNCH of 196 ohm and 226 ohm resistors so easily made my "424"ohm resistor, but that much accuracy is not needed 🙂 )

Both look pretty good, but I wrote 10R on the box for when I use it.

Cs: 0.15uF

Rs: 25R3 23R-30R all looked good and I have 27R in house, so that's what's going in.
