Re: Downloading PSUD for Mac
You'll probably get some more descriptive answers from the hardcore Mac users, however I can tell you it's a 64 bit app so will work only on the later 64 bit systems. I know that users have had

Downloading PSUD for Mac
I downloaded version 77. Haven't installed it yet. What OS versions does this work with? Thanks

Re: PSU Design Results
If you are using RC filters, you can burn off as many volts as you like in the resistors, so long as all components can stand the off-load voltage. It's much easier to lose volts than add them.

PSU Design Results
Hi
Is designed a PSU with 290v-0v-290v transformer (Imax = *100mA* , *58VA* , Rpri=21ohms, Rsec=238ohms) and a *57mA total load.* I want to have arround 350Vdc at my B+ (with silicone diode

Re: Transformer Source Resistance
Thanks, I think I get it now, although I believe it is usual to include the winding resistance in the total limiting resistance, rather than adding it, when using capacitor input.
Your plan to

Re: Transformer Source Resistance
There's a little bit more to it. The transformer impedance is, for the most part, caused by the primary winding resistance and the secondary winding resistance - both will affect the impedance feeding

Re: Transformer Source Resistance
Thanks very much for the reply.
Just to be clear, if I need 100R in each leg, I just enter the secondary winding resistance as100R and this value will be applied to each leg when calculating?

Re: Transformer Source Resistance
PSUD shows the source impedance (combination of primary and secondary impedance) for just one leg of the winding.
You can directly add the series resistance to this value to simulate the current

Transformer Source Resistance
Tube rectifiers often specify the minimum resistance required in series with each rectifier to limit peak current. For full-wave rectification, does the source resistance shown in PSUD refer to the

Re: Negative capacitor?
The checking is done when you try and exit the box containing the value. For example, if you key in -1u then nothing happens until you try and move. Pressing tab or clicking on the OK button will

Re: Negative capacitor?
'When' is the check?
I am not sure I can do this on initial setup. I seem to do it at-will by editing an existing setup. Transformer voltage dialog objects to <2V at first setup, but if I enter 2V

Re: Negative capacitor?
Hi Paul,
Thanks for sending the screen dump and other info. I've had a look in the file you sent, and the value in there is definitely -1E-6 (-1uF). However, I cannot offer any kind of explanation as

Re: Negative capacitor?
This sounds quite bizarre, I'm fairly sure I would have put some minimum and maximum limits on values to prevent "issues" so it's quite odd that negative values can go in. Could you please let me have

Thanks for the help so much.
So the question I am unsure of is what makes a good transient response compared to another, I sort of felt like the speed (tightness of the curve) to return to the steady
