hi guys,
this may seem like a silly question, but would i be able to wire the ground on a power transformer secondary to, lets say the 300 v tap, then the + to the 600v and the -ve to the 0v, giving me a 300-0-300 v transformer? my first thought is that the fact that the chasis/ground is connected to earth, so it wont be an issue, but i wanted to check so that i didnt electricute myself adjusting the volume.
the reason i ask is i bought this power transformer to use for a 5e3 type amp, but using a 5u4 rectifier. i thought that the voltage needed was only the ground and the +ve nessisary. i started wiring it up tonight and noticed that i was wrong.
if doing this is alright then would having mismatched +ve and -ve be ok? the 370 tap centre, with the 690 positive (2x 370 is 740) and 0 being the negative, making a 370-0-320 transformer(assuming my rationalysing is correct).
thanks for the help.
