Isolation transformer draws excessive current under no load condition
Hi all,
Is there any reason that a 120VAC to 120VAC isolation transformer would draw 2.54A on its primary when there is no load present on it's secondary? Part reference: http://www.temcoindustrialpower.com/...rs/FT2036.html datasheet: http://attachments.temcoindustrialpo...120x240Pri.pdf I finally got around to wiring this transformer, and I noticed something that doesn't seem quite right to me. I have it wired for 120VAC (H1 connected to H3 and H2 connected to H4) and it seems to be working as I get about 120VAC on the secondary, ( wired X1 to X3 and X2 to X4) but with no load on the secondary, the transformer is drawing 2.54 Amps. Looking for a sanity check I guess. I'm beginning to think the thing may be defective... Email to the Temco has produced no response as of yet. |
