Default Re: BEME Mini Loop - silent

I think that "just smoking" might appear harmless but of course it meant it was seriously overloaded.

If "remained intact" means "it still reads the right value" then you have to question where did all the rest of the "smoke current" go?

If it was down some inductor wound with very small gauge enamelled wire it might have "smoked" too and now you have a lump not an inductor.

Only thinking out loud since I have no idea of what this is in reality. Good luck with it.
