Thanks, that makes sense.  Is the PN plot much as expected, or is it "could do 
better"?

Thanks again
Dave

Consider full-wave rectification of 50 Hz, the power consumption load on the 
capacitor after the rectifier creates an inverse sawtooth wave of
100 Hz, and sawtooth waveshape have both even and odd harmonics.

While much of this is regulated out in the next step, some of it makes it 
though.

Magnus
