If you look closely there's some components soldered inline. Individual Diodes forming a full bridge rectifier.Am I missing something here. It would appear, from the pics that there is AC from the toroidal transformer going directly to the reservoir capacitors.
That must be a 1KVA transformer if my maths is right.I'm aiming for 12v 30a, got a nice toroidal with 6 windings at 28v 6a each, going to run each winding to its own 16a bridge to prevent circulating currents and throw lots of 2n2955 at it! I'll probably force cool it and use it to keep my toes warm...
Thinking it might be handy if I could switch it to a dual supply (+/- 0-24v @ 15a?) and make it variable voltage with current foldback/limiting, but I might be making myself too much work... I do have a habit of gilding lilies. :/
