Input Voltage (V_rms, Line-Neutral)

Input Freq (f)

Load Resistance (R)

Output Voltage Waveform (Ideal R-load)

Form Factor (FF) = V_rms / V_dc. Measures shape of DC output. (Pure DC = 1.0)

Ripple Factor (RF) = √(FF² - 1). Ratio of AC ripple rms to DC value.

TUF = Transformer Utilization Factor (P_dc / VA_rating).
