I want to build the regulate power supply base on Passlabs X2's power supply.
The original on use two transformer to form a network of four 40volt rails attached in series and feed to the regulator as show in pic#1
For mine, I wanna use only one transformer. So, may I use the schematic as shown in pic#2. the 2 seconday form 40volt and 120volt rails to feed the regulator to get the same regulated voltage.
My quesion :
Thank you.

My quesion :
- Is there any difference between two of this in term of performance? apart of using higher voltage cap.
- Can I use IRF610 mosfet instead of IRFP240 for the plus voltage rail? since the the current draw from the psu is about 60mA. Is there a special reason why IRFP240 is picked for this job?
Thank you.
