Re: Is it possible to...
Hi Al,
no, you're not doing anything wrong at all, just ignore the centre tap. Only thing to watch is the current (as Andrew is suggesting) - see the link which Colin posted above, if you're in any doubt. Nigel. |

I have tried wiring as a full wave rectifier with the centre tap as - the the output from the diodes as + but then only get 3.5v max and although this works with no hum the heaters take too long to get up to temp. I did find and answer with a google search but coudn't make head nor tail of the answer and they didn't post a diagram to help explain but it did seem to involve some capacitors from + to -. |
