HI Carl, I'm not sure what did it. It has been in service for many years as a step down from a 240v generator, doesn't have a fan, and is worked to its limit a lot. 6500 watt generator, driving a SW4024 trace, at pretty close to max settings.
I replaced it with a Outback w/fan which I have had good luck with. So in the end unclear except possibly just a breakdown in the insulation due to extreme heat. jay peltz power On Sep 17, 2010, at 4:18 PM, Carl Hansen wrote: > Hi Jay, > Any idea what the circumstances were that led to the demise of the > T-240 and how the homeowner is going to avoid having that happen again ? > Carl > Hansen&Sun Elect. > > On 9/17/2010 3:14 PM, jay peltz wrote: >> HI all, >> >> I had a customer burn up a T-240 auto former. >> >> Anyone know if you can buy just the replacement transformer and if so whats >> the part number. >> >> I couldn't even find a T-240 on either Xantrex or Schneider's web sites? >> >> I can fit in a Outback X-240 if needed, I measured but would be nice to the >> have the easy install part. >> >> thanks >> >> jay >> >> peltz power >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> List sponsored by Home Power magazine >> >> List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org >> >> Options& settings: >> http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org >> >> List-Archive: >> http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org >> >> List rules& etiquette: >> www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm >> >> Check out participant bios: >> www.members.re-wrenches.org >> >> >> > > _______________________________________________ > List sponsored by Home Power magazine > > List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org > > Options & settings: > http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org > > List-Archive: > http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org > > List rules & etiquette: > www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm > > Check out participant bios: > www.members.re-wrenches.org > _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
