Hi,
I have a 400w amplifier with a faulty mains transformer. ...or at
least I'm pretty sure it's faulty !
It's a split primary (115/230v) toroid with the secondaries at 21v,
44v and 51v. There is some scorching near the entry point of one of
the primaries, and I get 15.3k ohms across one primary winding and
just 1 single ohm across the other. I presume this means it's
faulty ?
(please excuse my ignorance, I'm pretty certain it's screwed, I just
wanted a confirmation of my diagnosis ! )
So.... presuming there's a short in there somewhere, is it possible to
get it repaired ? ...or would that be financial insanity ?
Lastly, failing the repair option, does this look like a regular 'off
the shelf' part (i.e. are these secondaries standard) ?
If it helps, it's made by Toroid International Ltd., Part
No:-TI-65801E. I can't say what VA rating it is.
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Kev.
