    Transformer on Emerson LC320EM2 PSU

    Working on the PSU for this tv. Has no proper volts anywhere.

    When plugged in to AC on the bench, the primary transformer would instantly start sqealing. No blown fuse at f601. Highest volts readable was 9.9v on the 24v line. 4.2v on STBY.

    Pulled transformer out and checked output side and all pins ( 9,10, 13, 14, 15)read .000 on any ohms setting to the ground pins ( 11, 12).

    Cannot find any info on the transformer Meikai BCK-35BM LTT3PCMEK015. Service manual for tv lists it as a Trans Power 11714
    P/N LTT3PC0KT069. Searched all combinations of those numbers no luck.


    Sears has in parts list for tv, but is no longer made or available. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks.

    Check i think Q600 or Q601!

      also check D604, D610,D607,D640, may need to remove from circuit!

        Already de soldered and checked. Only thing that did not give a good reading was the R608 resistor. Supposed to be 0.18 ohms, mine reads .003. NOT blowing F601 fuse like I have read about in the other posts when plugged in to AC.

        Now back to the original question about how to test the transformer as I have de soldered it and all DC output pins read shorted to the ground pins, .001 on my meter. Plus when I took it out the short I had on 24v rail went away.

        The DC pins give an open reading to the AC which is correct

        Meter readings good when testing from power connection CN632 backwards to transformer DC solder points.

        Here is a couple of pics of the transformer, have not been able to find any info on it.

          DC resistance of the power transformer will show <1 Ohm, you need a RINGER and Inductance meter for testing inductor/transformer.
          The transformer is driven by very high frequency, not by DC, so the impedance will be high.
          You can check the transformer to see if it has open winding or not only, not impedance, inductance.

            I guess the resistor is part of the problem. Resoldered transformer back in without the resistor in circuit and no more squealing.

            Will have to wait on replacement as Digikey was out of them. Thanks.

              Check the 1 watt zener diodes on top of the board over where d640 resides under the board. I listed them all out on one of the other Emerson threads. Also a leaky q601 will cause the transformer to squeal. I had one that tested good for gain and looked OK on the multimeter but was the cause of my squeal. Your resistor is probably just fine never seen one yet that went down in value, they always go up. Check out this thread

                It may be a bad Q601, the one in my PSU is a c5344 not a 2sc2120 like in the other posts. Data sheet here

                De-soldered it tests ok on ohm meter, I don't have a cricket tester. The only thing that tests bad is the R608 resistor.

                The other thing I have not done is to recap the board, mine is full of Jamicon and Su'scon crap. None appear to be swollen or leaking. I think I'll recap it while I wait on the resistor to show up.

                  The 5344 can be subbed with the 2120 same basic specs I was also able to sub a bc337 after fixing the pin out. Depends on what transistors you have handy

                      Try the optoisolator, and check the rest of the components in the feedback section

                        I believe there is also a surface mount schottky diode on the underside of the board. I don't have the part number handy.
                        Usually they short when the other stuff goes. I don't know if it would cause the low voltage issue.

                              by littlejohn
                              Hello I have a Emerson research clock radio model CKS3516C and the transformer went out on it ,the label on the clock radio says 120VAC 6 watt backup battery DC 3v CR2430. the numbers on the transformer ST3591C-13SEN which I can't find anywhere for it. Can anyone please tell me the AC output voltage. Thanks

                              The primary voltage is 480 single phase the second voltage needed is 60 volts

                              Now it could be 30 volts 0 volts 30 volts preferred

                              Or it could be 60 volts 0 volts 60 volts and just use one side of

                              Output amp need to be at least 30

                              Dose anyone know where I can find one

                              This is what is the device I am working on

                              The problem with this one is that it is over heating and smelling like it is over heating

                              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

                              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?
