Sorry if this is covered somewhere already. I did a search but didn't have time to go through all the results I found.
I have a transformer which needs to be replaced. The primary is 230V and secondary needs to be 12V. There is a 5A fuse on the primary side and a 4A fuse on the pcb to which the secondary side goes. I'm not sure if this fuse is before or after rectification. All the transformers I have found are rated something like 12-0-12 or 6-0-6 and I am not certain which I should use. If I took a 6-0-6 with 4A output current and then used the two 6V outputs would I get the required 12V? And would the current rating be ok or too low?
I'm a bit confused by the whole 6-0-6 and 12-0-12 labelling.
Thanks
