Hello,

So I bought a transformer and it should be in today. Although I've never worked with transformer so could someone verify that the circuit would be correct and make sure everything seems right?

Thanks

 

Here's the link for more specs-

Your wiring is not correct.
What are you trying to build?

 

Im trying to build a supply for an amp I need +25V and -25V with the 8.88amps.

 

Take a look here http://www.audiofaidate.org/it/materiale/20_020_020_001_PowerTransformer_FilterRatings.pdf
What you need is the dual complementary rectifier circuit. And also a note if you need 8.88A DC your transformer must have a current rating equal to 1.8*8.88A In your case you should not draw more than about 5A in continuous mode
Edit: Looking again at the datasheet. For a dual supply you have to use the secondary windings in serial. And hence the max DC current will be 4.44/1.8 ampere in continuous mode

 

And for heaven's sakes DO NOT follow this circuit:

Ok so I would do this (attachment) and Mr.Chips whats wrong with your circuit?

The diodes are in the wrong order

 

Oh I didnt notice that Mr.Chips picture had diodes backwards good call.

 

Be aware of that transformers has something that is somewhat misleading named "transformer polarity" I do not know if it was luck. But you connected the secondary side correct. But you need to get the "polarity" correct on the primary side also. This is mentioned in the datasheet. And take care to follow this then connecting to the primary side
