Toroidal transformer voltages - sanity check needed!

No.
I seem to have a lack of insulated proves for the multimeter just now, so just measured to make sure the voltage wasn't too high. The Gecko's are good for 50V, so a 6V safety margin should be good enough.

You are probably OK. However, the reason I asked is that the UK mains voltage is 230 V with a tolerance of +10%, -6%. So, if the mains voltage was 6% low when you made the measurement, then the voltage you get at maximum mains voltage will be over 50 V. An unlikely but possible situation.

If it's for the Gecko G540 then this will do the job. http://www.airlinktransformers.com/t...with-leads.asp

I've just built a control box for someone using this toroid and It is giving a steady 47V and my mains input voltage is quite high due to the fact I live bang next to the sub station.
I've had it on test know for several weeks and no issues's so far.

EDIT: Doh . . . didn't read all the post's did I.!! . See your sorted.
