Hi All, I had bought a toroidal transformer, a capacitor & bridge rectifier (together it should make a power supply of 68V 12A.) & I've started to connect my toroid up to the rectifier, & i measure 100VDC out from the rectifier instead of 68V? I also measured the toroid & i'm getting excactly 110VAC thats going in aswell going out. Am i doing something wrong? Thanks, Will

| Measure the output of the toroid without the rectifier connected, i.e. measure the AC secondary, if you had a capacitor connected as well as the rectifier you should have had approximatly 76vac. Post the actual ac voltage on the secondary and that should tell all. Al.
