Default Transformer shot! (was scope SMPS/ capacitor venting)

Recheck pin function before jumping to conclusions.


Right; now re-checked. DC measurments proved (unsurprisingly) too close
together so I re-tested using 100khz instead. These are the impedances WRT
ground of the output taps of the long winding in the order they actually
come out of the transformer:
GND, 0.17ohms, 0.17ohms, 0.26ohms, 0.28ohms, 3.7ohms, 3.8ohms.
So this doesn't seem to tally up with the schematic. Or does it? I need a
pint of strong coffee to kick-start my head on this one. :-/
Anyway, later...


The transformer secondaries go (on the left side viewed from the top of
the transformer).

1.5kV
1.0kV
Gap/no pin
HV Common
60

As others have pointed out this PSU will not run happy without a load
and I don't know what would be suitable. When I worked on these I always
just left the psu connected to the scope. Lets face it, the scopes been
turned on at some point with the psu connected so its not going to do
much more damage and at least you will know the loading is correct. The
EHT multipliers on these break down internally on these.

In one of your pictures there are a couple of diodes that look messed up
(V1809 and V1811) near the bridge. They are supposed to be BY208-1000
(1000v rectifiers), I can see "40" on one, maybe 1N4007?
