120V to 240V conversion
"Michael A. Turd"
If the loads are equal.
** Not possible with paralleled secondaries.
Regulation is improved by doing that.
Somewhat, but still not as solid as parallel primaries.
** With identical transformers - it is.
I've seen
two separate transformers with the primaries in series and the
secondaries connected as a center tapped full wave bridge,
** Bad idea.
and the voltage bounced all over the place.
** It would, since each transformer is loaded on alternate half cycles.
it would have been even worse if
the transformers didn't saturate when the primary on that core went too
high.
** The only thing saving it.
It was done by some fly by night TV shop back in the '70s.
** I know of one *commercially made* stereo power amp ( 600 watt per
channel ) that had twin transformers, 120 volt primaries in wired series and
70 volt secondaries feeding separate bridge rectifiers and filter electros.
There was a permanent 10 volt difference in the + and - supplies.
When driven with low frequencies ( 20Hz ) the DC rails went berserk.
Insane.
