Notes.
Voltage drop on the secondary caused by the load can change in function of construction
or designing of the transformator itself.
The no-load output voltage of the transformator is obtained summing the expected drop at the maximum power at the nominal voltage. Pratically the output voltage at the nominal power will be equals to the nominal voltage.
The output ripple (Vrpp) can change in function of the quality of the used capacitors.
The ripple value (Vrpp) is made reasonably valid up to 50% of V RMS, beyond this value the inaccuracy increases.
Normally a supply must be able to work correctly with supply voltages which can change at least of +/- 10% respect to the nominal or the project value.
