All measurements made with bare transformers. Both the Block and the nameless one I used for the 13VAC > It's possible that this is a 60 Hz part Says 50-60Hz on the box I don't especially care what the waveform is like as long as V out is fairly repeatable from Tx to Tx (the s/w calibrates the ADC to a sample anyway) and the things don't burn out. It's an ideal size (for off the shelf) but I daresay I could get someone local to wind something similar It's quite a bit smaller than a Tx I'd normally use for a PSU, with which I don't have concerns, so maybe, as Roy Hopkins said, that performance and temperature rise is just how a small Tx is -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
