  • Power Supply schematic question

    Can someone help me understand how to interpret this part of the schematic
    • Where it says 245 V - is that Vp? Vpp? Vrms?
    • Where is says 308v, 299v, and 289v are those values only if the rest of the circuit is connected?

    I want to simulate just this section in LTSpice, but I don't get these values. Please be kind, I am just getting started here.
    The way I have it setup in LTSpice all the voltages converge on about 245v, so I know something is wrong.
    I am faking the transformer with two voltage sources.

    Unless otherwise noted AC voltages are given as RMS values.
    The voltages in red are average DC.
    All voltages should be specified for idle load.
    So you need to know the DC currents drawn from points A and B.

    I'd use PSUD2 for simulation.
    You will also need the DCRs of the PT and the choke.

      This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

      PSUD2 gives options for current taps at the filter nodes for this kind of power supply. The drawn current is what's missing from your simulation now which is why your voltages are all the 245. LTSpice requires a full circuit to represent this but PSUD2 lets you simply choose the expected current draw at each filter node.
