Default Why does the 115V-24V transformer keep blowing on my Trane XB80?

The replacement was indeed made in China. It's an Edwards model

I dunno what this means:

"Non-regenerative thermal overload protection"

but it *could* mean that the transformer has a thermal fuse. If so,
it's an easy and dirt cheap fix.


Some small transformers have a self resetting thermal circuit breaker.
I assume the Edwards transformer has a one-shot thermal fuse
(cheaper).


I've gotten replacements at radio shack on one occasion, although their chioces
are limited.
