your bridge rectifier is not really converting to "smooth " dc current but pulsed
dc current . the red wire has half of the positive current pulses and the black wire
has the negative half of current pulses. your current meter only measures AC current,
"sees" the DC current pulses as AC. half of 9.6 is 4.8 which after factoring in
losses for electrolysis is pretty darn close to what you should be getting on each leg of the DC side. Hope this helps
