Good grief. I'd expect a transformer like that to have a thermal fuse
inside the winding which would rupture long before the transformer
overheated.

That was my thought, and I thought there was a requirement for one.
If not there ought to be.


The EU requires one but don't worry when we leave we can go back to
not having them.

Only an idiot Remoaner would contemplate such.


Lievers are the ones that say we are going to make cheaper stuff, how
are we going to do that without ignoring safety?
We won't be competing in the semi closed EU market but the world markets
with all the other cheap manufacturers like india and china.

We'll have to learn to use aspirational (as opposed to tested) CE
marking in that case. Everyone looks for the CE mark (except in the US
where they have a similar mark).
