I'm using Slone's Tab book to learn the basics. It's pretty good so far although once in a while the book takes bigger leaps so I stumble a bit.
What I've got so far is the the two 24V transformers with the primaries in parallel, the secondaries in series. I've tested the outputs from each secondary (about 28V each) and the secondary circuit common reads 50V. I've added a 250V 6A bridge rectifier and attached the free secondary leads from each transformer to the AC inputs on the bridge. The bridge shows 50V DC out.
The book has me (temporarily) add two 10K resistors - one between the secondary circuit common and the bridge positive lead, and another from the secondary circuit common and the bridge negative lead.
Testing DC between secondary circuit common and the + bridge lead shows +24V. Testing DC between secondary circuit common and the - bridge lead shows -24V. This agrees with the book. His next two tests don't work for me.
Testing" AC" between secondary circuit common and the + bridge lead shows about 50V. Testing" AC" between secondary circuit common and the - bridge lead shows about 0V. His book indicates I should get about 12V for each. That I don't understand. Something just doesnt seem to read right here.
I've rechecked what I've done with the schematic and everything looks good. All tests have agreed with the book except for these last two.
Any advice much appreciated.
