low power transformer with high current output

[hrishib]

Hi, i'm designing a dual output power supply with each capable of 2A. For such a scenario the input needed is 24V and with dual 2A output my transformer will need to be in the 125VA to 150VA range which are really expensive. Is there a way i can use a low current transformer add a bridge rectifier and multiply the current this bridge outputs?

You can multiply the current only if you lower the voltage. Power = Voltage * Current. You cannot create more Power than the transformer is rated for.
