I recently dismantled an old computer PSU, and I am surprised to see some pretty smallish transformers. I'd like to experiment with those, but I'd like to make sure applying 110V to them is safe?... They look so tiny...(see attached photo)
Googling the markings on them doesn't turn up much except for that **broken link removed** on crappy PSUs.
I have a few DS01S bridge rectifiers (max 70V AC on input) and various fixed and adjustable linear regulators from Fairchild, and if I could derive 25-50V AC from the biggest transformer, I'd like to try and come up with a little fixed voltage power supply for my prototypes.
Any thoughts?
