| What to do with +/-26VAC center tapped transformer ? |
| << < (3/3) |
| Dr.Krieger:
You will only need two Diodes to make a full-wave rectification using your center-tapped "26Vac/100W" trafo, that would give you ~35Vdc so a nice 0-30V 0-3A Power supply! Come to think of it, even a simple LM338 in TO-3 could handle that, well maybe if you removed a couple of turns for a bit lower Vin... Oh and ofc don't try to get those 3A at a low output voltage, remember high Vout/Vin (or transistor's Vce*Ic) raise dissipation... |
