With a CT transformer you can get plus and minus voltages with just one bridge as shown below:

The reason I asked, is that using this board and a CT 18-0-18 winding with UF4007 caused two of the diodes to short.

Just wondering if two bridges should have sorted or just the first cycle inrush might have been the culprit.
