  1. A center tapped transformer is perfect for producing a negative dc supply voltage. This one doesn't have one.
    This circuit uses a bi-phase rectifier. Each diode acts as a single phase rectifier but the AC voltage applied to D2 is 180o out of phase, thus full wave rectification is achieved.

  2. Hee, hee.
    I did not notice that the supply polarity was backwards.

    Lol what amused me is he wasted 5 regulators without realising there was a problem with the circuit.

    The lesson is, if it gets hot and components smoke, check there's nothing wrong with the circuit before replacing them and trying again.

    Here's how to do it correctly.
