RE: Great Post !!!!

"When a big transient hits, the PS voltage should fall fast enough to support sufficiently quick recovery, but should not fall far so as to maintain voltage for the transient. Recovery should be smooth and fast enough that voltage has recovered and the PS stabilised before the next big transient hits."

In a class A circuit why would a big transient cause the current draw to increase longer than 1/4 of one wave length before the current draw starts down?

And 1/2 wave length later wouldn't the current draw be decreased from idle and the worry would be increased voltage?

1/4 wave length of the slowest frequency of interest (20Hz) is 12.5ms

If the supply is slow to react to current increases (and current decreases) and the voltage holds relatively steady for the first 12.5ms, until the current starts to decrease heading back to the idle current point, isn't that what we want?
