I am not sure I'm sending this correctly, but here goes. I want to build a 120 volt DC source that can supply ~35 amps. I would like to have the primary either 240 (typical) or 120 v AC. It doesn't h

I used to make jokes about rectifying the line cord. Or even throwing a wire up over the powerline and rectifying it for the power amp. Using a transformer isolates your circuit from the mains. I was

Thanks to everyone for the information, especially the information on "direct rectification" of the ac mains. I hadn't thought about the DC current being an issue on the neutral side, is that really

You could keep an eye open for high current 48V switching psus which tend to be relatively cheap. Most will wind up at least 10% on the output voltage, then stack two in series. Steve _______________

Back to transformers! Would something like this work as an isolation transformer? It doesn't exactly meet my requirements of being 120v/240v primary (switchable), but maybe 277v is close enough to 22

What are you trying to do? Build a high current power supply? If so the type of supply filtering circuit and desired voltage regulation is critical to the transformer you pick. 73, Tom W8JI _________

Hi Tom, It probably did seem a bit strange. Basically, I need to make a power supply capable of around 100v @ 30A. It does not need to be regulated, but should be well filtered as it will be in a sol

When people make line isolation transformers or control transformers they use the smallest amount of copper they can. The resistance of the winding limits peak current. The power factor will kill re
