Sounds like a knackered transformer. Or a somewhat clever transformer that closes itself down when overloaded maybe. To the OP - what is the rating of the transformer?

Some older 'proper' transformers have internal fuses on the output. -- *24 hours in a day ... 24 beers in a case ... coincidence? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

strung together this: Some older 'proper' transformers have internal fuses on the output. Which would blow once and then never work again. Could be a auto-resetting thermal cutout I suppose. -- SJW Please reply to group or use 'usenet' in email subject |
