Hi
I forgot to mention. You need to derate the transformer
as well. The problem is that the current flows when the
voltage is the highest ( or close to it ). The math is a little
complicated but it means you need to increase the rating of
the transformer by at least 1.414.
If you can't find a transformer with the right windings,
I recommend looking at toroidal transformers. These can
easily have turns added to increase or buck the voltage
of the secondary.

Hi! Does anyone know of an available transformer suitable for making an
S-100 power supply? I need 120VAC input and 10VAC output and +/- 18VAC
outputs.
The best I solution I can find is two separate 80VA transformers; one
parallel 10VAC output and another 36VCT output which can be configured for
+/-18VAC outputs.

Hi
What you want is an 8 volt and a 13.5 volt AC. You forget
that the DC voltage is created from the peaks not the RMS
average. You have to account for diode drop as well.
That is how I got the numbers. I assumed full wave rectification
and .6v per diode.
