Re: (ET) charger failure question

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

I'm not a EE, but I don't see how a DC hit on the transformer secondary 
would have much effect on the primary.  It would induce a pulse, but it'd 
be 
of pretty short duration, and wouldn't have time to build up heat in the 
primary.

Damage to the secondary is possible, I guess.  I'd expect the diodes to 
give 
way (open up) first.  I could be wrong about that, though.

Anybody have an open GE charger handy and can measure the DC resistance of 
the transformer secondary, so Michael can check his against yours?  I have 
a 
charger here, but it's buried in the tractor.
