I have finally decided to build a proper 'rough power' supply......I'm sick of not having good power for my peltier work.
The specs I am looking at : 0-24 VDC @ 26 amps.
Here's what I am doing ;
I have a powerstat variac ....1.4 kVa...(116cu)..I intend to buy a Hammond toroidal transformer to connect to this....I'll probably get the 182t24....
My thought is a basic bridge rectifier/smoothing capacitor setup.I'm not worried about any regulation ,but does anybody have any tips ?
Should I get a 30v toroid? or will the 24 v model be enough ? (don't forget the variac can do 140VAC)
Thanks for any advice.
