hi, i have been playing around with a 10A psu to try and learn. thinking the lm396 reg had shorted i tried a lm317 and still had a short . so by trial and elimination , i traced the problem to this "zener" looking thing . the regulator seems to work ok without it , but i would like to know what it does. it is connected between + output and neg rail . the other black "diode" type thing [paralled with light bulb] is on a different set of output wires.which won't be used , but i am curious. it measures 1-ohm each way. sorry for any confusion
