RE: Help needed: Significant Voltage drop after PS caps

Are you running the supply with a test load? Without a load, there is no current through the circuit and therefore is not a true test of the circuit. I usually test a supply with a high wattage resistor based on the current that I intend to draw from the supply.

Your numbers appear strange since the intersection of L1, L2, and C1 is one point, so you should not get 380v and 152v at the same spot.
