Probably a very basic question here--

The following basic bridge-rectifier-and-reservoir-cap circuit here should theoretically show slightly more than 350 VDC at output (I accidentally cropped the ground/earth point off the image at the bottom-right)

Instead, it's showing 250 VDC.

I'd love to understand where my error is. Thanks in advance for any insight!

I've already figured it out-- I made an assumption that the voltage input was RMS voltage. It's peak voltage; so I have to do the mathematics to get 250 Vrms

Thanks anyway for the time; leaving this up for any future people making the same simple mistake
