Hi guys and gals, I'm building a 2A linear +12V &-12V PSU.
If I design my PSU to the 230Vac/+-10% standard (for Europe customers), should I include 207Vac and 253Vac? I mean, that's a wide range.
I could design it as 207Vac, if someone in Europe use my PSU on 250V mains, there'll be more heat. Or, I could go for 230Vac, less heat, but I'm afraid of the increasing ripple and noise when it's used on 210Vac...Also, less output current.
I know that's a lot of questions, but I'm kind of pulling my hair now.
Thanks!
