Re: [TCML] Pole transformer repair



Probably wound with aluminum wire - difficult to splice or repair. I can advise on repair if no one else volunteers.

I was using a pulse capacitor on a Jacob’s ladder on a 25kva pole transformer when the arc stopped I shut everything down immediately hooked up just the Jacob’s ladder and nothing... it’s pulling 58 amps and not putting anything out. When it was at full arc with no capacitor it always pulled 80 amps... I popped the top and noticed a small amount of black haze in the oil. So obviously something burned up... gonna drain it this weekend and pull the core out hopefully it’s not anything insane I spent allot of money on this transformer and it was brand new never used. Guess that’s the name of the game though you blow crap up lol
