Failure of the transformer could be caused by natural aging or premature shorting of adjacent coil turns. If
the transformer has failed, a low or complete absence of output would be observed on the ammeter even
though the transformer might hum. A failed transformer could cause an AC line fuse to blow or a circuit
breaker to trip in the storage facility. To check the transformer:
1. Disconnect the transformer secondary coil leads No. 1 and No. 4 from the diode terminals (Figure 23-
13). See DANGER below.
2. Disconnect the transformer capacitor coil leads No. 5 and No. 6 from the capacitor terminals. See DAN-
GER and CAUTION below.
DANGER
• DO NOT ALLOW THE SECONDARY COIL LEADS TO TOUCH EACH OTHER. THERE ARE
APPROXIMATELY 61 VOLTS AC PRESENT.
• DO NOT ALLOW THE CAPACITOR COIL LEADS TO TOUCH EACH OTHER. THERE ARE
APPROXIMATELY 650 VOLTS AC PRESENT.
• HIGH VOLTAGE! WITH THE CHARGER ON, THE VOLTAGE OF THE CAPACITOR INSIDE THE
CHARGER IS APPROXIMATELY 650 VOLTS. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING
NEAR CAPACITOR TERMINALS.
CAUTION
• TO AVOID BREAKING WIRES, DISCONNECT CAPACITOR LEADS CAREFULLY.
3. In order to supply AC power directly to the transformer coil, the relay must be bypassed. Refer to the
Test Procedure 2.
