In that case the 20V transformer would only supply the load but I wasn't talking about using two transformers with different voltage outputs. I was talking about using two transformers with the same output voltage. Connecting up transformers with different output voltages in parallel is a silly idea, I wouldn't have even dreamed that you would have thought about doing it.Hi again,
Well here is the way i see it...
If we had a 20v output transformer and a 10v output transformer and
each had rectifiers to convert the ac to dc and a filter cap to help
smooth out the dc, and we wired the two caps in parallel and connect
a load, the 20v output transformer would keep the output caps charged
up and supply most of the load while the 10v output sat there idle not conducting any (or very little current) because the higher voltage
output keeps the rectifier diodes of the 10v output reverse biased.
Thus, although it doesnt seem to hurt anything it also doesnt
help anything.
