DIY Power Supply Questions
I am finishing up the design of my DIY power supply and I wanted to run some of my design thoughts with the forum for some feedback/confirmation that I doing this correctly.
1) I am thinking of mounting two Weber WPDLXFMR-1 transformer (8 11vac windings and 1 9vac winding) in my chassis. I was planning on running the primary windings in parallel from the 120v main to power the two transformers.
2) I would like to have 18v for one of the dc outputs, so I was thinking that after the legs get converted to 9vdc, I could take two of the 9vdc legs and twist them together to get 18v. I am correct in my thinking on this?
Thanks,
Scott

Sorry to resurrect this one from the dead, but I just wanted to see if running the transformers in parallel worked for you? I was thinking about doing the same thing in an upcoming project, but I cannot find a concrete yes or no on whether it is ok to do that. Does anyone know? Thanks!
It is build and works great. Running in parallel with no problems.

Awesome. What enclosure did you end up using?
I used a 2u rack enclosure. The Weber transformers are rather large.
