There are designs that step the voltage up at high
frequency, so that a smaller transformer will carry the
power, then that high frequency is rectified to DC and re
inverted to a low frequency output, with no voltage change,
so no transformer.

Sorry, I don't know the technical terminology for this
configuration.

Damn! You almost got it set correctly!

Do you have an obsession with seeing your posts at the top of a new
header pull or something?
