I have a 9v 450ma mains transformer which i was going to use on a thermostat circuit (relay output) i built which run on a 9v battery. However the transformer outputs 13-14v when outputting the 50-150ma my circuit draws. Would adding a resister to the mains coil lower the voltage? I can modify my circuit to the voltage as long as it is stable which my 9v battery wasnt and kept changing the switching temperature. If a risister can be used would a 0.5w rated one be OK? Or would a 9v regulator be the best way forward?
PS i live in the UK so its 240 50Hz
