I have a torroidal transformer with 2 seconaries, both 0-26v (measure at ~30Vac with no load). Since this is all the voltage I will need, I'd like to parallel the outputs to allow as much current as possible. I have red, orange and 2 black wires on the secondary side. The black ones are definitely the middle taps, and measuring voltage from red to orange gives ~60V as expected.
To connect in parallel do I just connect the red and orange wires together, and use this with the black wires to get the 30v? What about phase since the center tap wires must be connected inside the transformer somewhere to be able to measure 60V across the entire secondary?
This may be a really simple question but I'd hate to get it wrong and melt something!
Thanks for the help.
