      A Ups will only act like an ISO transformer if unplugged from the wall. Up to you buddy

          Long term a proper ISO transformer will work out best not alot to go wrong on it compared to a UPS

                  Help choosing replacement transformer for Levoit 600S SMPS
                  by learnmore
                  Hello Community,

                  I'm attempting to repair the SMPS on a Levoit 600S air purifier. The transformer is likely open. It has six pins. 2 pairs on the primary side (one pair tested open) and 1pair of legs on the secondary side. Legs on the secondary side are spread wide apart (end-to-end). I've circled them in blue. Dimentons of the transformer are 22x23mm. Marking on the transformer are EE16 1.9mH-B. Fuse for the powerboard is fuse 250V 3.15A. I've been unable to find an exact match and I'm hoping for some help here to find a suitable replacment.

                  Peace

                  isolation transformer from two 240/12, wiring?
                  by harp
                  When is talk about making isolation transformer on poor-man way, always I see schematic 240/12-12/240.
                  So, I wonder, is this wiring from my attachment it work, bringing some good feature or it is bad idea and why?...

                  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...
