Hello All,
I buy a center tap transformer, it has a sticker attached where it is written:
6V 0.5A and a part number. I have to question:
1- 6V is the rms voltage, right? and it means that the transformer is 6V-0V-6V, so if I only use the 2 terminal of the secondary (without the center tap) I will get 12V rms,right?
2- 0.5A: does this mean that I can get 1A load current in a rectifier circuit where I use the center tap transformer with two diode connecter to the two terminals and connect the center tap to ground?
Thanks in advance,
Ballimo
