| IvoS:
I will have a small linear power supply with this 10VA or similar transformer https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Bel-Signal-Transformer/14A-10R-28?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvwUzoUXIIvyd9mRDTtMBVeVfiyOmBntwwckc0OwNq22Q%3d%3d Bridge rectifier, caps etc. on secondary side followed by low noise LT1963 (or similar) regulators. What else besides a fuse should be on the primary side of the transformer? MOVs? spark gaps? ........ Low noise power supply is my priority. Thanks. |

I'd put a fuse :). Also EMI filter of lowest current rating possible as those have bigger inductance and, presumably, filter better. They also come at least in two flavors: normal and medical. I don't remember the difference, but you can google it. |

Fuse will be there definitely. I want to put MOV on the AC line. How do I size it for 120V? |

But for sure it must be rated higher than 120V*1.1*1.41 (nominal voltage * 10% variation * peak sine value). I didn't put a MOV because I decided it's not necessary. Transformer itself is quite robust to transients. |
