hi, lets say there is a step down transformer with secondary output rated as 6-0-6 500mA.
then would it mean after converting it to DC with bridge rectifier will yield an o/p of 12v 500mA maximum (not considering diode voltage drops)?
i know, due to ac wave peaks, the actual o/p without load will be higher voltage, but under load conditions that would be the limit , right ?
(p.s. i am not actually trying to draw maximum rated current from a transformer, just trying to understand the figures)
