Re: PFC, Do you advocate them on 14440 1 amp transformers?

Jim,
If you are using a DC supply with filter caps, as one of your recent posting
indicates, the filter capacitance will "reflect back" through your
transformer and will act as a PFC capacitor as well.  The capacitance will
be multiplied greatly depending on your transformer primary to secondary
inductance ratio.
