Power Supplies Online's Electronics Glossary - Centering
Centering: In a multiple output power supply it is sometimes awkward to have every output voltage spot-on. Power supply centering refers to this. This is often due to things like needing a full integer wind on a transformer. So, although the voltage might be well regulated, the nominal voltage can be slightly off.
