|    Bridge or Center Tap?    |
|    20 Sep 12 22:36:11    |
      From: pds@ktb.net              For my next project I have acquired a transformer with two identical 450v       secondary windings. I could put the windings in parallel and use a bridge       rectifier. Or, I could put the windings in series and ground the coupling       for a 450-0-450 configuration to use with a pair of diodes.              Which would you do? What are the pro's and con's of the two       configuration?              For this project I am using SS rectifiers. Were I using a tube rectifier       I would go with the center tap, of course.              - Paul              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
