Wonder what size capacitors I should use to keep ripple minimum above
+24V?

=====
As a rule of thumb not less than 2000 microFarad per ampere
Hence for a 20 Amperes supply a total of 40KmicroFarad or more.


Aren't we forgetting something, chaps? It's for Frank to tell us the
maximum level of ripple he's prepared to tolerate. You can't give a
meaningful answer without that, can you?
