Long story short - I bought a 3kw transwave static converter off ebay. Spares or repair!
Seller said had it for 2 years. Went bang and because they were a busy company just bought a new one without looking at it. I thought one of the caps had probally gone.
When I recieved it they had obviously been poking around as the input cable was missing, transformer had been unbolted and one of the caps blown plus missing switch knobs. As I bought it spares or repair I had no come back.
Changing the cap and mains lead was no problem but on trying it the contacter trips and blows the fuse. Checked everything and cannot find any shorts. Only thing that doesnt look right is the transformer. One of the terminal looks like it should be connected to something. None of the terminals on the transformer go to earth by the way.
Should the 2nd from left tetminal (220v) be connected to anything.
