[Amps] Power Supply loaded DC output

Hello Again,

Trying to establish the loaded voltage output of the plate transformer that
I am going to use with full wave bridge rectification  and capacitor
filtering. It is the one that Ten-Tec buys from MCI Limited for the Titan
III. I tried to get some "real life" numbers from somebody on the reflector
but have had no responses.

The transformer itself has a label with the following ratings, two 117 V
primaries and a 2015 V secondary at 1.5A

Tentec claims a 3000 V "no-load" plate voltage on the Titan III.

My calculations are as follows:

Actual Primary Voltage 240 V

Actual Secondary Voltage w/ 240V on primary 2067VAC

2067 x 1.414 = 2923 VDC NO-LOAD

2923 less 10% = 2631 VDC @ 1.5 AMP



Are these calculations correct?

Thanks
