Hey guys,
I would like to build a small linear bench power supply with one positive channel and one negative channel referenced to a common ground. With a center tapped transformer, the center tap becomes the common ground. From what I understand, you can use a transformer with dual secondaries and connect the + side of one of the secondaries to the - side of the other secondary and use that to create the common ground for the split supply.
Is there any downside or potential traps for young players using a dual secondary transformer in such an application?
