Nope. Not unless you have two transformers. Each diode will have a _slightly_ different turn-on voltage, so the one that's a touch lower will hog all the current and the other one will not do much of anything. You can build your own bridge out of four individual diodes. > So wire the variac to the rectifiers, (AC side) then hang the > BHC across the DC side of the rectifiers. Is that right? > (DC to the iron cathode and anode.) If it were me, I would wire a high value resistor across the capacitor to dissipate the change so that after 10 or 15 minutes the "hairy" is gone from your BHC. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
