do ucd modules behave like

[snkby]

far as i can see.

i didnt leave anything out of the schematic except for the 1megohm resistor and .01muf cap across each cap.

i have another xformer by the same company that does have a 18v-0v-18v secondary but its labelled just like that.

should the shield be tied to 0v of the secondary ?

i dont know if you can see the drawing clearly enough on the web.

the middle post between the 0v and 61v is 40v.

0v-40v-61v.

could it be a bad rectifier ?

center tap =0V

Check it with your meter on Vac from the rails. You need symmetry here. Like +30 0 -30

I'm assuming the 0V is the center tap and not a true earth. The screen needs to be connected to true earth, if not you will get an unbalance.

By the way how were your other transformers wired anyway?

is working right now uses 2 separate xformers with 2 separate rectifiers.

each xformer feeds a rectifier that feeds a cap.

the caps are then in series for the +/-45v with the series point between the caps as the 0v/ground reference.

can i parallel the ac from the 0v-61v to 2 rectifiers and then feed the 2 dc voltages to 2 caps like in the working psu ?

thanks.

No because you'd be getting >60V a rail.

I think what you need to do is bite the bullet and buy or find a proper transformer for the job. It doesn't seem like this one here is it.
