Can I possibly connect directly the 12v to the other 12v from my 12v-0-12v transformer? So that I can have 24v? Is that safe?

You can ignore the 0v C.T. and go from each end to give you 24v.

Ahhh, okay. So I connect one 12v to the circuit and the other 12v to the circuit also? And ignoring the 0v. That gives me 24v right?
I thought connecting the 2 12v to the circuit and 0v to the circuit also, will give me 24v. Thanks! Much appreciated!
Ah okkkay thanks! Much appreciated!
Why? I thought connecting both 12v terminals will give me 24v. Much appreciated! Thanks!But DON'T connect both 12V terminals together.
What you referred to as a 12-0-12 transformer is also referred to as a 24VCT transformer.

Observe the centre tap on the secondary (Right), do Not connect to it when requiring 24vac.
Use the outer two.
