Clutching at straws here really, coming up with a home brew solution if I can, as the manufacturer want £250 to have a look at the knackered transformer before charging me the same to supply and fit a new transformer.
Never did measure the voltage coming from the socket, but I do know the length and diameter of the Enamelled Copper wire, that WAS installed - thanks son!!.
91.704m from end to end, with a weird joint 8m from one end
1.8mm diameter, and thankfully he thought to get his mum to label bits up as he hacked it apart to confirm my suspicions - broken windings! Side note: last time I’ll be lending anything out.
Looks like it’s been dropped or ******** about with internally as there are a couple of loose connections too.
So, I’m assuming the transformer, which had two windings will be outputting 415v, and the third phase it’s done by the magic of capacitors?
I understand how transformers work to a degree, but couldn’t give an in-depth description..
Hopefully something in all of that makes sense, and possibly someone can answer my thinking that if I put exactly 90.704m of 1.8mm Enamelled Copper wire back around the transformer, it’ll work again?
Failing that it’s going in the F***It Bucket and I’ll have to stump up some cash for a new one
