Okay, this IS the elementary electronics board, so bare with me...
I just finished 2 variable 1.2-30V/2A regulated DC power supplies (one made with perf board and wire, the other with etched board), and it was much easier (and fun!) than I thought (of course, having a schematic drawn by someone else helped
Now I want to build a comparable (30Volt) variable AC power supply.
Knowing that the Bridge Rectifier is behind converting AC to DC in a DC supply, is it as simple as not using the Bridge Rectifier to get AC, or is it more involved than that?
If it is that simple, can I just put in a switch to "bypass" the rectifier when I need AC so I can put both in the same case?
