G3 Problem

begu

Hello.
I just finished my G3 amp. But I haven't measured AC tension from the brown wires of the power transformer, but I had 6.5 AC tension on the red wires.

I removed the brown wires of the power transformer from the circuit (BR1) and measured the AC voltage between the two brown wires with power on and the voltage was 0V
I measured the resistance between the two brown wires of the power transformer. It was very high.
Is my power transformer broken?

thaks.

Hi,
i think the transformer is brocken, between the brown wires must be 208 V AC.
Kontakt Klaus from Musikding.

How much resistence did u measure ?

begu

Hi.
resistence is about 1300 KOhm

MAD

If you say "1300 KOhm" do you mean 1.3 MOhm? If this is the case and you don't have no reasonable AC voltage at these wires when connecting the primary to 230V it seems the power transformer is indeed broken and you should contact Klaus at Musikding to get it replaced. What about the heater voltage, which voltage do you measure?
