CG	Re: Transformer Boost/Buck Connections I knew I was missing some kind of gotcha. Thanks for the tips re. getting the most of one winding RG, much appreciated. But is there no way you can get the the full VA of the transofrmer into one rail? What if you rectified and filtered each winding seperately, could you combine the resulting supplies? I guess it would require some kind of current clamping circuits to make sure the load was being distributed right... and that's just getting pretty silly I guess. Thanks for the help guys, I'll see what I can work out. -cg
