So I have a pair of these Triad transformers, and I need to make 24V and 12V for two separate supplies (regulated phantom via voltage tripler, and DC heaters).

Don't ask why I'm trying to do that with this transformer... it was a last minute change of plans and I already have the parts.
Anyhoo, I could hook up the primary in series, connected to 120VAC to give me dual 12V secondaries.
My question is-- if I connect the two secondaries in series to provide 24VAC for my phantom circuit, I could also get 12VAC from one end and the center tap.
Is there any danger or disadvantage to using half the secondary for one thing, and simultaneously using the full series secondary for another?
Thanks!
