........ my DC out should be (AC x 1,41) - Vdrop over one diode?........
.................Check the Vdrop of the diode/s.
measure the Vdrop when you have the circuit powered.
.................. Shall I just set the DMM over the diode and measure?...............
No, it will not work...............
put DMM to Vdc and measure DC drop across diode .............
No wonder Greenhorns get confused !................. which is resulting in further confusing of future greenhorns..............
Elvee,
why did you state?:
No, it will not work...............
stajo, are you sure you wired it up as per your schematic? any pictures we can look at? , talking and doing are two different things.... 😀
Thanks Andrew. You understand my confusion.
AJT: I gave up talking yesterday after the last comments. Thing is that I went on holliday with kiddo long way from the circuit that I measured up just before I went so I didntn have time to analyse my results. Hence my questions, the results were nagging me.

Stafan, your circuit looks good, so if you are having problems, then it can only mean you did something wrong or that your materials have problems...
Because about half of time, the voltage present across the diode will be the forward drop, but the other half, the voltage will be reversed and this will dominate. The meter will show a negative sign, and read half of the AC voltage (if the meter responds to the average value)No wonder Greenhorns get confused !
