    Are Ceramic Transformer Insulators Repairable? How?

    I found two France 12030 P5G-2 Franceformers that had been thrown into a dumpster. One of the transformers has a cracked/broken Neutral (White)/Hot Line (Black or Red) insulator (see photo).

    I would like to repair the insulator in order to use it to make a dual neon sign transformer Tesla Coil.

    Will a common porcelain repair product work at high temps? If not, is there a way to repair ceramic electrical insulators?

    Thank you

      Try using a two part waterproof epoxy adhesive.

              dead transformer on ceramic oven
              by Wolf1977
              hi in ceramic oven the transformer is damaged
              and writes
              2x115v/2x12v/6VA 50-60hz ta105/f
              can you suggest me a compatible transformer ;
              i have found in 70 degrees celsius do you think is suitable for ceramic oven ;

              Original Xbox 1.0 PSU: Foxlink FTPS-0002 Rev. B. — 12 V low, 5 V high — transformer?
              by ohren
              Hello!

              I'm looking at an original Xbox PSU: Foxlink ftps-0002 rev. B. The 12 V output is too low, and the 5 V output is too (?) high. Unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope but only a DMM for diagnosis.

              Measured voltages with no load:

              After rectifier diodes
              12V: 6.17 V
              5V: 5.67 V

              Secondary transformer pins AC measurement (really don't know if this says anything)
              12V: 2-2.5 V
              5V: 1.04 V


              I also have another (working) Xbox psu from Delta. The same measures there, in order, being: 10.79,...

              Is it possible for transformer substitution?
              by mikey5791
              Hi all,
              Got this local made DC power supply (12/14V) given free as the transformer has melted. There is no marking or indication to identify what type or rating of transformer used.
              Fyi,. I had a busted autogate mainboard with transformer with marking 13-0-13 . Is this the 13v dc type transformer?
              My questions are
              1. How do i test to see if the transformer is in good working condition?
              2. Can this transformer (marking 13-0-13) be used to replace the melted transformer on the DC power supply?
              Hope you guys understand what i was asking. My intention is...

              3PHASE STEP-DOWN Transformer in Check
              by dennis_elx33
              Hello All,

              i would like to post an interesting topic regarding 3-phase stepdown transformer which we suspect to cause an overcurrent (138A) which resulted to power tripped off of the HV power supply (80KV output).


              Problem statement: Power tripped Off

              Initial Problem: Found 2 IGBT and 2 rectifier diodes shorted (burnt).

              Action Done:
              1) Replaced the faulty parts with good spare.
              2) Measured impedance of the 3phase input lines and found that L2 to L3 has 23.3ohm while other pairs are 51Kohm. This pins will...
