[Amps] Buzzing Transformer Follow-up Questions

[David G4FTC]

Hi Carol,


The voltages may appear to be OK even if the transformer has a shorted turn.


Can you measure the mains primary current without any of the secondaries connected?

Hello all...

I happened to have a similar transformer from another Alpha amplifier, which
is out for repairs.. I Installed it and all is fine. Now my big question...

Since the original transformer is totally operational ( voltages and
current) except for the buzzing sound, (probaly due to a lamination
problem), what do I do next?
Do I replace the transformer? Do I get it rewound?

I have a call into Hammond and waiting for a call back.


Carol
