I am considering building an 9vac and 12vac power supply to power several units. I was wondering if there is a need to filter AC power like you do when building a DC power supply. If so, could someone please provide me with a schematic or layout for the filtering.

Thanks,
Scott

Guess: you could stick a lowpass at 60Hz to make sure no radio gets through...

But pretty much whatever's dealing with the AC will be doing its own filtering and regulation.
Testing, testing, won too fwee
