Regarding the specs of mine
Hola MrAl,
I cannot get this straight. My inability to understand at work, again. Could you please refer to the specs of my transformer?
a) Should I say, 695 mA to my question below?
how much current (maximum possible) should I obtain from each output at the same time?
1390 mA or just 695mA?
b) How consistent with the specs
is /
it is not what I measured? Rarely I see the output voltage drop mentioned much less considered in any calculation, but it is real and noticeable (easily!).
c) It seems that 1390 mA is the right value
adding both outputs; if so, provided I load, say, the
+ side, with 1000 mA, should I be able to load the
- side with 390 mA as well? Would I be still within specs?
d) How to estimate actual voltages at the outputs? Better measure them right?
Had a bad afternoon yesterday trying to get 160 mA under 5V from an LM7805. It seemed unable to cope with it. I finally found that were the transformers (all small ones) that colapsed earlier. Learnt that when the regulator, connected to my power supply, provided those 160 mA gallantly.
