Joined the red and orange together and got 54V AC across the black and yellow, so that is the correct series connection.


I cut the red and orange cables back to leave about 60mm showing, stripped and tinned then ends then soldered together. Heatshrink over the join, then another long heat shrink over the top to finish the series connection.

Crimped terminal ends on the black and yellow cables for the rectifier. Had a look at the datasheet and the terminal rotated 90 degrees to the other 3 is the DC + output. Diagonally opposite this is the DC - output. The other 2 are AC inputs.


Marked out the holes for the cap brackets, rectifier, toroid and corner bolts and started drilling a few out. Went with M4 tapped on the capacitor bolts. Getting there slowly . . .


The MCB hasn't tripped out yet on the few times I've turned it on (6A type D) but since I haven't connected the capacitors yet that probably doesn't mean much.

This was the way I joined my transformer from the technical description on the airlink website...
