Hi guys
Quick question
Can the PY81 boost diode be safely used as a power rectifier?
Oh, and another quick question
Is there a reason its not a good idea to rectify the ground side of the mains transformer.
Anode to chassis, cathode to transformer secondary, other end of secondary to smoothing for HT+
( I have some transformers that would suit this idea nicely)
I was going to use a silicon diode and surge resistor but I would like the extra glow in my project...
Thanks,
Amie
