Since my job is with low-current, high-speed digital logic circuits, I am
rather easy to get fooled by very-simple high-current circuits.
But can you please show me the dangerous current path that will blow the
diodes when the output terminals are short-circuited ?
In my opinion that will happen with a traditional diode-capacitor power
supply but not with my configuration.

Isn't it the primary that place?

Well, well. Italian born, moved to Finland 7 years ago, speaking finnish
for real, writing finnish to make other to laught. That's me.
