Hello Clive :D
So sorry, my post lacked a few details about the setup. Give me a few minutes and I'll get some pictures. In the meantime, here is the list of parts I ordered (Jazz checked them before purchase):
The transformer came with no ground wire, only load and neutral. Here is how I wired things:
To answer your question #2:
DC to transformer:
230V brown (load) on transformer's brown
230V blue (neutral) on transformer's blue
Transformer wired in series: (AC pins are vertical and diagonally opposed, DC pins are vertical + horizontal where horizontal is DC+ ans diagonally opposite pin is DC-)
- black and yellow together on one of the AC pins of the rectifier
- red and orange together on the other AC pin of the rectifier
Rectifier to capacitors:
DC+ to first capacitor's +
DC- to first capacitor's -
capacitors wired in parallel: + to + to +, - to - to -.
Capacitors to screw terminals:
+ to on terminal
- to another one
nothing is connected to the terminal
To answer #1:
The first time I measured from the screw terminals. Then, after unplugging everything to find out the transformer is not outputting current, I put my voltmeter on the black+yellow pin (they're crimped together on a ferrule) and on the red+orange (also crimped on a ferrule).
Not sure how to perform the second part of your question :/ ?
Photos will follow in a few minutes ;)
Here you go :)
