Hi all ..
I have been taking a interest in electronics for a couple years now so I do have experience with repaires and basic circuits and can use multimeter, but not building my own projects like now so I have purchased a large transformer from ebay for a 12v lead acid battery charging / power supply project and to run DC input chargers etc for my shed, the transformer is 16v AC off load, the problem I am having is when I put a rectifier on it only shows 7v DC, a smaller rectifier sets fire, the transformer is multi tap AC input, very high current AC output of two "FAT" wires. how can I get this 16 v AC high current down to DC without loosing too many volts and amps.
thanks for reading
