[Amps] HV transformers I want to series primary and parallel secondary

[Will Matney]

Theo,

That amp reminds me a lot of the amps I used to build years ago. It really brings back memories. I see it used four transformers. I'm not sure how they were wired, but they can surely be used that way as long as they're the same transformer. The KW I used to build used two large transformers in parallel in a seperate power supply over the weight.

Best,

Will
