Would anybodt have a wiring schematic for a MG Pro Series Ps-22 power supply? |

It melted 2 wires off and can't really tell where they go to. It kinda looks like they hooked up to a small wound coil about nine turns (maybe a shunt?)for feeding the amp meter. But I have zero output. But before it melted the wires off, the power supply kicked out a couple of times. |

When you turn the PS on, does it blow the main fuse or breaker right away? If so, disconnect the output of the transformer from the circuit and see if it blows. If it doesn't, possible failed transformer. If it does check the bridge rectifier. Look for a 1" square box with four wires coming out of it. It's probably shorted. Let me know what you find... |

Tech181, I'm confused. Wouldn't it be correct that if the transformer output is disconnected and the fuse doesn't blow it ISN'T the transformer and if it does blow it IS. Maybe I missed something here. Set me straight please. Barracuda |

You know what? My bad, I should have told him to disconnect the input of the transformer, (thus taking the transformer and everything after it out of the circuit), not the output. I had cranial-rectal inversion for a minute there! |
