Okay since you seem to be experiencing exceptional difficulty in the area
of
comprehension, lets see if you can answer your own question, based on the
assumption that there is no common feed from the transformer, and that the
thermostat is acting as a switch in a looped control system.....what other
factors would be necessarily considered with respect to shorting the
transformer secondary strictly from the thermostat, and we will even
remove
the possibility of the control wires directly grounding to metal of any
kind
at the thermostat, what other factors based on load consideration do you
think would result in a shorted secondary ?


Look, I'm not trying to be a jerk here, even though it seems you want to be.
If you feel my answer is wrong, than please explain why, and I'll learn
something.

If you're implying that having all the relays/contactors energized at the
same time is too much for the transformer, than I disagree-- relay and
contactor coils don't take all that much power (and besides, that woudln't
be a 'short' but an overload).

If I'm missing your point still -- then please stop being snarky and
explain. I'm not an HVAC tech so I might well be missing something
'obvious' to you (although I've successfully repaird a number of HVAC
issues, including a burned-out transformer (no I didn't kill it myself)).

Tim... your wasting your time in an endless loop argument. If you feel
your premise is correct..Go ahead and do it! No skydiver ever got to the
ground just by doing a math model of the problem... You have to step out
of the airplane. If you should screw up! Consider the cost of a service
mans repairs to be the cost of education. The big beef here is that most
of us would rather see you post these questions to alt.home.repair only.
But you have been extremely polite sooo.. I encourage you to try out
your premise on your own.
