Let me rephrase what I said, or what I meant to say. I have a 32v
transformer that is centertapped at 16v. It has the diodes in place
for a full wave rectifier.


Two diodes or 4?

I want to construct a linear PS from this.
I don't really want to add a bridge to make this work in another
configuration. What I need is a schematic that allows use for a high
current transformer (30 AMP) using this configuration. I would like to
get max current out of the transformer. I realize that I could use one
of the secondaries and the center tap with a bridge to make a PS and I
might have to do that. I think that it would cut into my current
rating heavily though. Any thoughts?
