Power transformer testing
#7

You do not use Go-No go with anything other than wires.

Transformer has a finite resistance that could be from units of Ohms to a kilo-Ohm or so. The primaries are usually within tens or hundreds of ohms on output xfmrs, the output is almost a short; in power transformers input is tens of ohms, outputs - could be hundreds. But in any case, you need to see the resistance, not continuity. If it is within the range shown in the sch - this is what you need.

Meantime I would recommend you familiarize yourself with the basics of the components: what is what, how to measure it and what physical meaning it has.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
