New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

Just an observation - are you running the primaries in series (240v) or parallel (115v) ??

If series the you need to connect supply to blue and brown with grey/violet joined.

If parallel then connect blue/violet and grey/brown then connect supply to to those pairs.

Just an observation as said but easy to ignore those little dots on the transformer winding pictures ;)

I had it wired blue and brown to mains 240v, grey and violet joined on the input side. On the output side orange and red to the rectifier, yellow and black joined. This was a dual 25v output core.

This time with the 1kva transformer I'm going to wire the input the same (it's a dual core 115v input). The output I will join the orange and black and then wire to rectifier, join the yellow and red and to rectifier. (Dual core 50v output, I want 50v out to feed into the rectifier so I get my 68-70v out for my drivers.)
