I’m gonna drain it this weekend and try and see if I can visibly see any damage... I don’t know how it got jacked up it just quit pulling an arc wasn’t even doing anything crazy lol idk if the cap backfed or what and popped something. I figure if it were the high voltage true primary side it would have really jacked up and be pulling at max on my ballast. It’s got aluminum secondary but copper primary (primary and secondary being used in the correct installation way not our way)

>> Welp has anyone on here ever repaired a pole transformer? 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
