psu question

intense-tavda · 27th November 2007, 10:32 PM

Hi there!
I got two 225VA toroidals that has 4 secundary wires, and two bridgerectifiers, 4 x 15000uf and 4 x 47000uf.
What I did: from the toroidals, was, 2 wires went to starground, as centertap, and 2 wires went to the rectifiers, then I did one + and one - to the capsbank and got 25V, so one point from the rectifier I did not use. On one - and the other +. My question is; does it harm this way, or don't I use the psu at full power now? And if not, what's the good way, thanks Teake

It's no longer a bridge rectifier.

Hi Andrew!
Thanks for the answer, but is it enough, or should I use it as a bridge?, and do I have enough power now? Teake
