Rick,
The pulsation amplitude of well designed DC generator should be very slight
compared to the DC output.

I should have stated that differently, Curt.

  Could one take the output of this 250VDC generator which produces 
pulsating D.C. and hook it into a step-down transformer to a more suitable 
voltage?

  Or would I just let the smoke out as I believe they're frequency 
sensitive?

later,
Rick
