What if you have an overstock of inappropriate transformers that need to be used up? What if transformers with higher voltage are cheaper? When I actually wrote this answer, I was working on a project where I had a rectifier made out of Shottky diodes and a transformer. I didn't have another transformer in my parts bin, so the diodes had to go. | |
