Typically the unloaded output voltage should be 1.414 * RMS input voltage in
your case 120 volts. Sounds like you have a little more than 120.

Im a novice and trying to understand the logics here. My monitor has the
120v AC line coming into a Full bridge rectifier(4 Diode set) with 3 .01
filter caps. Why do I get 183volts DC out the other side and not 120volts
DC?
