2. "step-down" transformer. Basically a 20 to 1, primary to secondary turns ratio.
you cheated, you added something this is gonna be where I trip up
**broken link removed** I'll give it a go thou
**broken link removed**
so I have a transformer connected, well half connected, it has four connections, I'll guess then you can have a laugh

Well, it didn't take long to get stuck, I have tried a normal diode & a zenner as rectifier & I just cannot get a half wave, slight ripple at best even with taking cap right down that was after guessing how a transformer is wired up

So before helping me figure this out, is it actually wired right
**broken link removed**
ok, so if by any long shot I'm working this out right you've already given me lots of help here, so my 240V source should be down to 12v through transformer if I do have it wired right, so I wouldn't be getting a wave because of values, don't tell me how to do it, just if wired right
I'm not refreshing cause I don't want to see if you replied but I'll update this post, I have a wave, it was mutual inductance whatever that is, this is fun
Sorry I had to stop to eat but this is what I've got, is it what you asked for
**broken link removed** values might be wrong
It's showing 2.23E-19V on multimeter so I'm guessing I didn't get there, I'm guessing it's not wired right somehow
