Hello all,
I am in the process of learning about circuits and how they correlate to each other for a final output. For my next step, I am wanting to build a transformer, more specifically I want to know if it is possible to use one transformer circuit to have two different output? I have been learning a bit about the LM317, LM338, and LM350; however, from what I have found just for a transformer, I am not sure if there is a way to factor in what type of capacitors and their respective values should be? Here is what I am wanting to do, take a 110Vac input, rectify it and have one 12Vdc/2amp output and one 11.5Vdc/5.4amp output. If I had to build two separate transformers, I can do so. The important part of both outputs, they have to be a constant amperage and can be adjustable voltage.
The second part of my question is lets say the 110Vac source has 12amps and I wanted my final DC output to have 5.4amps, does this current drop need to be made before the transformer circuit, or do the values of the circuit take care of this? Any help or direction with this will be greatly appreciated. Take care.
