|    Testing small Transformer questions    |
|    22 Feb 23 05:52:42    |
      From: colinmarr0@gmail.com              I have a dead Ac/Dc adaptor. I'm busted it just to learns stuff.       Im trying to learn how to test Transformers. This transformer says on it       AMS10405 RG 1320F. I provide this to give all information, however Im not sure       it matters much to my question.              I have so far removed from what I can gather are the Primary wires from the       board. I assume they are because they are white and black and are literal       wires going into transformer, as oppose to all the other connections which       appear to be pins in the        circuit board. I believe to properly test transformer you need to remove it       fully eventually.              Here are my results with digital tester, When set to continuity, which appears       to be (2) ohms setting. I get Beep and .002 Ohms.       This seems to be very low ohms.       I do find it difficult when any information on testing transformers says check       with the data sheet. I'm sure someone will say sure here is the information       its easy to find.       Does .002 Ohms seem right for the primary.              Regards              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
