Okay,
This is a super quick question. I haven't build a power supply in ages. Need one for my amp.
I think I remember hearing that VDC is equivalent to 1.4V x the VAC? Or roughly around there. But if my bridge rectifer has a voltage drop of around 0.9V, how does that play in?
So 12VAC transformer + rectifying bridge with 0.9VDROP = X-voltage DC?
What would be the VDC then? I need atleast 14.5-15VDC.
Thanks.
