Ok gang (This means you LowQCab )
Got the transformer and t-stats, and got this all wired up. All three speeds worked, and the fan was doing an awesome job cooling the enclosure.
Problem is, after about an hour of running the Hammond transformer got so hot it shifted on the mount and caused a short.
Wiring all looks fine and everything worked as expected - is this much heat normal? If so, what is the proper cooling used for this type of transformer?
It appears that the blower was on low most of the time it was running, so this would be the largest load on the transformer I would think....
Advice? ideas?
