Hi all! I'm new here so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong.
I'm just wondering what the effect will be if I have two different power supplies connected in parallel (specifically the transformers I'm worrying about)
the circuit will be something like this:
rectifiers ->4 230V caps in parallel (about 10Farad total) -> switching transistor -> 2 transformers in parallel -> 2 rectifiers in parallel -> 2 filtering circuits in parralel.
It is basically two switch mode transformers in parallel (with a few alterations such as only one switching transistor.
I don't know the exact specifications of the transformers, will that be a big problem?
The 2 rectifiers in parallel might be a problem, but will it be big enough to worry about? they are rated for 38A and the total load will not exceed 50A, I'll check the difference in forward voltage drop tomorrow when I get my multimeter back...
Anything else I should worry about?
Oh yeah, I'm a bit new to electronics
