Re: Transformer capacitor and WINTESLA

JAVATC will calc the PFC value for you, and possibly the other 
programs out there do the same. However, the "best PFC value" is 
"best performed" via measurement. I personally recommend using a 
program to quickly calc the ballpark PFC value, then buy enough caps 
you can parallel beyond the ballpark (experiment with). I personally 
don't care about PFC correction, but others do I guess.

Take care,
