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 599:

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.

but it also means the dang thing overheated.


Nah, it just means the fuse blew from age, thermal cycling, and
vibration.

In 18 months? If so it was crap to start with.
