AC to dual transformer

dmh · 20th March 2005, 09:17 AM

hello
Almost finished my first gainclone but was unable to find anything addressing this.
I have 2 identical transformers, both with dual primaries wired individually in a series and each one powering one amp. My question is can I tie the 2 sets of primaries together to run to the power cord or should I have a cord for each. I assume I should not connect the series wiring together between the two.
Thanks

Yes, but use a separate fuse for each transformer.
