John Rudd:
There are a couple of reasons for putting the fuse in the pri,
1) it will blow if theres a short on the secondary or primary side......
2) the big 2200mfd cap will appear as a short circuit for a brief period as it charges up....depending on the fuse size, would cause it to blow...

Hence a 12 0 12 12VA tranny will be quite OK in practice even if your wretched simulator doesn't think so.

Whats the poor thing done to you :lol: :lol: I will try both .
The transformers I have are 3VA

Its moved John :thumbup:

John Rudd:
I've not been a big fan of sims.....much prefer to see what happens if approach.....
Best thing to do Rob, is lash up the circuit on some Vero board with the 12 v transformer and measure what comes out.....
If the usual approach of V ac in x 1.414 is applied and subtract the Vdrop for the diodes, the actual output is usually different to the theoretical calculated..... :coffee:
The meter never lies.... :lol:
RobWilson:
I have attached two files showing the regulator output voltages , one with an input of 12-0-12 and the other 18-0-18
The 12-0-12 gives out less than 12 volts :scratch:

Bluechip:
3VA ??? :bugeye: Like running 'em lean 'n mean eh ? :D
Don't forget to phone up National Grid PLC before you power up. Tell 'em to brace themselves ... :lol: :lol:
Found the schematic:
The bottom bit, ie. + / - 12V was the original I built.
I've added your 5V & 9V, think it's OK ... :scratch:
I've upped C1 & C5 a bit to reflect greater load but I don't think its really required for your application.
