Well, the first question is more to do with Duncan Amps Power Supply Designer:
http://www.duncanamps.com/psud2/
I am trying to model the foreplay power supply in this software, but to get the right b+ I need to just guess at the load resistor to use. How would I find the correct load resistor?
Also, do I need to correct the transformer secondary voltage based on my wall voltage being 120 rather than 110? If so, do they scale like:
(120/110) * secondary voltage
or something else, due to the windings difference between primary and secondary?
The reason I want to model the foreplay power supply is that I have some 40uf oil caps i'd like to try in the circuit instead, and I wanted to see what happens (without breaking stuff). It seems that the same b+ voltage is reached, just faster. What determines the size of caps in a power supply? If 40uf too low in the foreplay?
Thanks!
