I am building a power supply according to G. Randy Slones Guide to electronics. I just got through connecting the bridge rectifier and I am getting correct readings on measuring DC voltage (+24volts and -24volts), but my AC volt readings measure +54 volts and 0 volts not +12 volts AC for each reading as the author expects.
Attached is the schematic. I am taking the readings with black DVM lead attached to the circuit common and the red lead connected to the negative output of the BR for reading 1 (0 volts ac), and the positive output for reading 2 (+54 volts ac).
This is the first time my readings did not match the authors and I am stumped on what to do.
Thanks for any help.
