Hello all.... This past weekend I ran into a new problem in the CQWW-RTTY contest. For some reason, the power transformer in my Alpha 76PA started buzzing big time everytime it was keyed.. The transf

Hi Carol, If the transformer is getting hot, and I mean so hot that it cannot be touched, then it could be a shorted turn on one of the windings - bad news as it means the transformer is effectively

If the transformer has a shorted winding, I expect it would go up in smoke in short order! Any transformer can have a winding replaced - they were actually assembled that way. S ____________________

Hi Steve, I agree that any transformer can have a winding replaced, but would it be cost effective, particularly with a small transformer? It would probably be cheaper to buy a new unit. David G4FTC

I had a "buzzing" XFMR in a 516F-2 Supply. Turned out the bolts holding the laminations together needed tightening. Buzz gone !! 73, Dick, W1KSZ _______________________________________________ Amps m

My PA76 buzzes a bit. But I had another PA76 transformer from a guy who swapped it for a Dahl and that one sung like crazy. Used it for a ton of key down power tests on an amp I was building and it n

Provided the windings are good, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be possible to rebake the transformer or even apply an additional coating of sealant and rebake to see if it would reseal the pieces parts

I remember having a transformer buzz due to loose laminations. I mentioned it to a friend who did castings at work and he said to bring it by. They had a vacuum jar large enough to put it in. We sla

Often it is about how the transformer is designed ; A low flux density (more overall windings on the core) will give a quiet transformer at idle with low standing loss, but worse regulation at full l

Hi, some general rules about buzzing transformers: - Tighten it up. Torque all the bolts, and don't forget to tighten up the center leg too. That's best done by driving insulating wedges of suitable
