Hard to say because you haven't filled in your location.I realize I can buy a manufactured one, but I want this to be a learning experience.
Not sure what you mean. They are all manufactured unless you wind your own coil.
I'll have to fix that, but for now I live in Arizona. I meant I would like to build my own benchtop AC to DC converter. I would like to buy a isolated AC transformer and all the electronic components needed to build the AC to DC converter. I can find all the components except the ac transformer.
