Actually the 13.6kV *is* peak - because I was uncertain whether the caps 
were AC or DC rated, I assumed the worst and divided the 9.6kV RMS from the 
transformers by SQRT(2).

However, is this still "close" on tolerance?  I certainly can't see the 
supply voltage ever going above 240 - we're lucky to get that most of the 
time ;-)
