Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Yup, not so

Try contacting the maker of the transformer. Sometimes you can connect the two secondary windings in series, and do what you want, but at half the current rating.

A center tap transformer is designed to only use one half of its winding at a time, letting the other half cool down each half cycle. The volt-amp rating of a transformer is fixed by wire size. You can't double the voltage out without cutting the current rating by half.

A voltage doubler is likely your best option for what you have....assuming you can get by with 1/2 the amps.
