A new development. When I measured the coils and transformers, specifically, the main TXFR, the secondary was a little off. It now measures 92.5 ohms. It should measure 125 ohms.
I had noted some wax that looks like it came out of the TXFR.
It runs very warm after about an hour or two.
How warm is too warm?
Unfortunately, I can't measure the secondary voltage. Paperwork states it should read 830v on the secondary. My meter won't go that high.
I currently have it running off of my variac at 100v. I also have a bucking TXFR or step-down TXFR that puts out 108v. It still gets very warm, but not as bad as straight from the wall, which is 120v.
Would appreciate some input: Should I consider replacing the main TXFR?
