power supply project
hi, all. i'm new on the forum, so i hope i have this subject in the right board. anyways i have a 48 volt, 8 amp output transformer that i want to build as a 13.8 volt, 8 amp power supply for my work bench. what i need though is to reduce the voltage down before i hook it up to my dc voltage regulator circuit. i was wondering if anyone has knowledge of how to reduce the voltage for this project? i have built a smaller power supply before out of a 13.8 transformer, but that was easy and i never run into a position like this before. the transformer is a 48 volt ac 8 amp type. i have already run it through a 100 volt rectifier and through the 63 volt 4700uf caps, i just need to reduce voltage more. i hope this all makes sense. thanks for any help.
