capacitive dual power supply

[BradtheRad]

Your latest design appears more satisfactory, and safer, than reducing high voltage mains AC via the capacitive drop method.

I deliberately showed a variety of scope traces in my simulations, to show that power levels through components are unexpectedly high... even if we just want a couple hundred mA.

Yeah, I think so. Better obtain a regular transformer.

BradtheRad can you kindly tell me in which software you are doing these simulations
