[nitro2]

Hello group,

I have got an transformer which is "gone" but without a output rating
printed on.

It is ;

BILLION

94TS-117A



It is a shielded taiwan or korean transformer in the typical yellow-ish
color with a glued-on mu-shield input is 230V ac , but output ?????????



Can anyone tell me what it should do ( v and amp )


thanks

I don't mean to be negative, but how on earth do you expect any of us to
venture an opinion on this ? You don't even say what the transformer is
fitted to. It could be anything from a dental x-ray machine to a transistor
radio ...

If it is in a piece of commercially produced equipment, then the chances are
that it is a custom model specced by the company that built the equipment,
in which case, it should only be replaced with an original spec transformer,
as generally, this is a "designated safety component" , and if you replace
it with a substitute, you are leaving yourself wide open to some serious
trouble if it fails down the line and causes a house fire or whatever.

arfa ,



Thanks for your answer.

If any info would be available , i think it was not needed for me to call
in the help of a newsgroup.

No, as you provide no relevant info at all.

In order to call in the help of a newsgroup, you need to supply some basic
information. In view of your ridiculous request for help based on the
information you did give, I tried to be polite to you. Had others on here
got there first, you would likely have had your nose put out of joint far
worse than you perceive that you have had by my reply. Do not try to put it
back on me or the group.

And don't top post.

Yeah, you are right, because all the readers of this newsgroup have
crystal balls specially designed to answer any question posted by any
clueless person. On that context, asking you a little bit of info is
absolutely a sacrilegy, and as such it goes against the rules of this
NG.

Problem is that we don´t have cristal balls, nor we can find brand new
ones, so UNLESS YOU PROVIDE US WITH SOME MEANINGFUL INFO about the
brand, model and type of equipment where such transformer is used, and
the number of taps that transformer has in its secondary, NO ONE will
be able to help you. If you are unable to provide such basic
information THEN you aren´t qualified enough, or smart enough, to
repair the equipment you are trying to fix.

Not without a crystal ball, there's no way at all to know from the info
you gave.

What is the transformer used in? That will provide clues as to what
ratings are required.

hmm, is this in a switching power supply as it sounds to me it is the
switchmode transformer and you don't just buy them off the shelf. If it's
not an expensive piece of equipment, best to replace the whole supply.

 

[Sam Goldwasser]

Why do you think it's "gone"?

If this is a switchmode power supply transformer, some of the windings
will read very cloes to 0 ohms and that's normal.
