    Need Help indentifiying this autotransformer

    Hi all, need help identifying this auto-transformer manufacturer.
    It belongs in a Venmar EVO5 700 Hepa HRV, that was toasted by 180v power surge (Newfoundland Power).
    I have been able to repair other items that were destroyed i.e. my doorbell with doorbell transformer, my Husky Central Vacuum (used a doorbell transformer to fix too).
    So I am just assuming this is the case with this as the board looks perfect and fuse on it was not blown, but no power.

    Any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

      Thanks for that, take care. Would happen to know where I can find the part, I just looked at Digikey they don't have this company name?

    Whats wrong with it? Primary voltage going in and nothing coming out the secondary? Check the thermal fuse inside or replace the transformer with something else.

      Yes, I had no power to control board (board has fuse not blown, parts look good), so I am suspecting autotransformer is the problem. I am attaching a picture of transformer with shell off (wondering where fuse my be lurking).

      I'd say the thermal fuse blew inside of the transformer. You'd have to unwrap the blue tape and dig around on the primary winding.

        CapLeaker, thank you for that. I watched a few Indians on Youtube unwrapping transformers and this one is complex compared to what I watched.

      Finally found that fuse, thanks all. Took me an hour to dismantle and unwind hopefully I can reuse the wire.

        Thanks to all who helped me out with this particular problem. Another item has been save from the landfill. I finally got a fuse and rewound and re-wrapped the auto-transformer.

          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...
