TRANSFORMER TROUBLESHOOTING
The transformer should have 120/277 V ac on the prima-
ry side and the secondary side should have 20 V between
the two outer terminals and 10 V between the center and
either outer terminal .
1 .
If the voltage on the primary side is not 120/277 Vac,
•
Check to see if the breaker is in the ON position
and that there is voltage from the breaker to the
transformer
2 .
If the voltage on the primary side is correct (120/277
Vac) and any of the devices in the panel are not re-
ceiving appropriate voltage:
•
Check the voltage on the secondary side terminals
