Re: (ET) Charger out.

[Bill Alburty <willaim kc rr com>]

I gave some quick advice which I now see was incorrect. Fig 5-5 in my manual probably applies to your problem. The secondary transformer circuit shows a circuit breaker, the power disconnect, and a fuse all in series. Any one of them open could explain your problem. Your timer switch must be OK since you get the hum.

The charging timer has a timer motor and a normally open switch which closes when the timer is set and opens when the timer times out.  Sounds like the switch is not closing and therefore not connecting the charger to the batteries.

Is there a klixon on the output of the charger?  I hear they sometimes crap out.

Well, interesting. The charger on my E15 seems to have stopped working. It's
been rebuilt, the symptoms are as follows:

Charge: Hum from transformer. Disconnect the capacitor, no audible hum. Plug
capacitor in, hum. Voltage at battery is 36.4, no change with charger on or
off.

Disconnect charger DC output and measure: 39.4 volts on digital meter.

Any ideas?
