Re: Testing a transformer for shorted turns
I'm not sure of the exact procedure as I haven't done it for years but you can test a transformer for shorted turns simply by using an Avo on a low Ohms scale.
If the transformer has good windings the inductance will make the meter slowly climb over. If it has shorted turns the meter will go over to FSD much more quickly.
Ed Dinning will probably be able to say if I have this correct.
