    X-former

    Every time I have had a corrrectly sized x-former fail (burn up) has been because something else in the circuit has failed. Check your wiring and your wire (ohm it out have seen T-stat wire too ofen fail between the conductors) I only run 18 gauge wire or better Check your controls Spider webs can get wet and track to ground. Put a fuse in the circuit. Best wishes J.Lockard

    argo

    Yes we've had trouble in the past, but they have been excellent with tech support and replacements. Don't use them anymore as they have pretty much lost their market share here and everyone sells the "green ones" now, not because of problems. It's a good product and have put in tons of them,. No more problems than anyone else's stuff.
