   * **Higher rail voltage.**  In the US, rectifying 120V mains will result in only 170V on the rails.  SSTCs tend to perform better given higher voltage; the PFC design that we've chosen gives 350V on the rails (limited only by the expense of the switching components that we chose).   * **Higher rail voltage.**  In the US, rectifying 120V mains will result in only 170V on the rails.  SSTCs tend to perform better given higher voltage; the PFC design that we've chosen gives 350V on the rails (limited only by the expense of the switching components that we chose).
