I have a Transformer details mentioned below
Voltage - 12.0.12
Current - 5

I want this circuit for power my amplifier .That amp board needs -ve, +ve, and ground.I'm so bothered about this connection , coz so many difference circuits are available in internet.But no results for 5 amps .

so suggest me a good circuit diagram
amp pic attached

Thanks in advance

Wire your rectifier like this. You need a bridge rated at ~10 to 25A. With a 24Vct transformer, the unloaded voltage at Vcc and Vee will be about +17Vdc and -17Vdc.

ps.gif

Capacitor values (ripple) depend on how much current your amp draws.

Do you need "regulation" at 12.0V, or will your amp operate fine with some ripple and higher voltage on Vcc and Vee? Most Power amps do not require regulated supplies.

BTW, if you came to a job interview looking like your avatar, I'd throw your ass out the door...

lol..it's not me...this dp added for bblog in gravatar.com ...automatically added here by my mail....

dude , i just connected with 2 diodes in a single capacitor for DC...unloaded voltage was 17. :)
can you suggest me perfect capacitor measures ?

2200μF might not be enough. Put two in parallel to make it 4400μF.

You need four rectifiers to make a bridge circuit.
