Hi all
I tried building the Swede power supply to power my next build but I haven't been very lucky
As far as I understand the schematic in fig 18-2, it's a full wave rectifier bridge, one side provides the B+ supply to the amp and the other side provides the negative voltage for the bias supply, that's why 2 diodes are reversed, and the CT is connected to ground. However, in a 4 diode bridge configuration the CT isn't normally used as far as I know (I did blow a few fuses discovering that) So i'm not sure I understand the schematic properly. Maybe someone can enlighten me?
So far my build is only blowing fuses and would love to understand why
Thanks
Sarah
