Subject: Re: [Amps] SB220 step start blows fuses
Thank you for the flood of good suggestions. I'm getting closer.
Without tubes and with the HV transformer unplugged, the fan and meter lights
work. In addition, the step-start fuses don?t blow!
That leads me to suspect the tubes + HV supply. I checked the windings on the
HV transformer to look for shorts:
BLK-YEL = .7 Ohm
BLK-BLKYEL = .6 Ohm
BLKYEL-YEL = 0 Ohm
BLKGRN - BLU = .8 Ohm
BLKGRN - BLKRED = .6 Ohm
BLU - BLKRED = 0 Ohm
Do any of those look off?
## Yes, I already mentioned this b4 ! You should be seeing 9-10 ohms
across the plate xfmr sec...with plate xfmr sec NOT connected to the diode
board.
## IF the diodes in the diode board fail, they typ fail shorted. If you still
have the diode board connected to the plate xfmr secondary, you will also
see close to 0 ohms across the plate xfmr sec.
