Hi Jazz

Thanks very much for the info. I had just checked out this transformer http://www.trafoshop24.de/rk-transfo...-rk-ec500.html Is there any benefit from using toroidial as opposed to the old square transformers from back in the day ?

Cheers

Advantages of toroidal transformers is pretty much weight, efficiency, reduced em field and, typically, cost. They come with a bit of a disadvantage of high-inrush current, but that can either be ignored or designed-out.
