Default Re: Transformers in parrallel?

Looking again, it seems that the two transformers are essentially identical except that one has two windings 0-115V as primary, the other only a single 230V winding.

So I'm now really much much less concerned about any differences in loading between them when paralleled!

As I said, my tests gave positive results and no signs of different temperatures. Will wire them parallel and use a single bridge-rectifier even though I have dozens of nice stud-mounted diodes on ex-MoD heatsinks...
