"... turns ratio is not 1+1:1.04, but rather something like 1+1:1.35. That's why when turned backwards, the transformer puts out 91+91V."

Thanks! I spend a lot of time designing high-Q RF transformers, and their behavior is always bidirectional. The fact that a power transformer might be different in this respect just didn't occur to me.

As it turns out, 182V will probably fit my project better than the voltage I was expecting. I need ~250V DC at 40mA, and I think this will just get there. Now I can continue with the layout. Yay!
