This website is a great idea. (I'm a thread vergin)
Not sure if its standard but where I live 'step up' is secondary = higher voltage
Opposite for 'step down'.
What would the result be if you connected one secondary with a high voltage and low current in series with a secondary that had a low voltage and high current respectively, so that the positive terminal of the step-down secondary was connected to the negative terminal of the step-up terminal?
(Note: Both transformers may or may not be the same ratio (but inversed) and the primaries are connected in parallel and/or the magnetic metal core's of the transformers are the same. P.S. the order of secondary connection can change if this makes a difference)
I'll be honest, my hypothesis is high voltage and high current would result, but intuitively that seems too good to be true?
Alternatively I am also curious as to what would happen if they were in parallel and rectified so the voltage didnt flow from step up to down with the consequence of making it half wave DC. For this I have attatched a drawing to help picture what I mean.
Thanks heaps and kind regards,
Rob
