". Dave, is this connected to two leads coming out of the transformer?
If not how is it connected?
Mike
Hey Mike,

Yes, to two leads coming out of the transformer. There are two of these
things, one with heavier blue leads, and the other with lighter white
leads. Whatcha thinkin'?

Dave
Hey Dave,
I'm not sure, I thought maybe a thermal fuse. Many small transformers have
a
thermal fuse wired inside to protect against overheating. Why they would
bring the
leads out and mount the proector on the back panel I don't know. Also,
since you
say it has two of these devices, I'm at a loss. How does it measure? Very
low ohms
both directions?
Mike


Actually, it measures several megohms, with one way being more than the
other, I believe (seems like it was 11M one way and 7M the other) . Will
have to check it again to confirm that last part, but that's what I seem to
remember from this afternoon. I do know that it checks like a diode, with
one direction being .879V and the other .397. What I can't figure out are
the ferrite rings around the metallic posts. sigh

Oh, and I have worked with thermal fuses before, and this doesn't appear to
be anything like that. I *think* they are diodes, similar in function to
selenium rectifiers, but much higher current.
