    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 :)
