A long time ago back in the early 60's, I learned a trick from a TV repairman in how to deal with a loud simple line in transformer. Just swap the hot and neutral around on the input and that would make things quiet again.
A gas furnace is polarized.Hot and neutral are referenced to ground.You will get an error code,and furnace won't start.I don't know if you just swap out the line feed to just the transformer what will happen.
Hi Brian. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not the swap would be recognized by an onboard computer or not. But I would not be surprised if there was a sensor monitoring the difference and it would throw a fault. I don't think 55 years ago the above technique even came close to the reality of the electronics of today. Mechanical relays were about as sophisticated as it got. Gee, the ground fault interrupter was a big leap forward compared to those times and now I guess anything is game for sensors and onboard computers to work miracles. Of course, all this progress goes back to the space race when the greatest leap forward then was orange flavored Tang. And so it goes.
I don't think anything would happen if he swapped the primary. I will probably never know because I'm not looking for problems when doing a service call. I aced two years of electronics and don't care, because the architecture of the board is a study in its self . Just follow the flowchart and get out
That is not true. What you here is mostly 100/120Hz, not the 50/60. The vibration is caused by the movement of the ferromagnetic metal, but in both magnetical polarities, in both halfcycles. You hear 50/60 at a substation only at the switch-on of the transformer the first few (tens) of seconds. But to explain that is I think way over the scope of this small notice.
thats how men think ,,oh she being friendly i guess she wants me,,,what about when its a guy being friendly,,he want him too,,,no quicker way to lose a good customer is hitting on a customer to find out you were way off base,,,im a service tech in a difrnt industry and we have lost both techs and customers thinking like this,,keep it professional,,if she wants him she will let him know
Recently divorced steve, couldnt tell by the video 100% but she certainly sounded attractive. Should go to one of the shows, tell her she will never be hot or cold again with you in the picture lol.
Yeah there may be a reason she is divorced... I wouldn't have someone that has been divorced, they couldn't hack it before so they sure won't do better with me LOL.
I️ so enjoy your videos! I️ watch them in bed while my wife reads...she always cracks up when you use your catch phrases. Your the best Steve.
Lady impressed with Steve's skill.
Sounded like a nice customer Steve very interested in your work!
No more noisy transformer mama! Nice job Steve!
Hope you took her to see Tower of Power!
Looks like steve doesn't want to bust into the return trunk, and I don't blame him.

No opera Steve. Come on live alittle. Lol.

On AC (alternating current) which this is - 120v AC, would it make a difference?
When the daughter goes for her stash and drops the register into the ductwork.
Thank you very much for the tips.
EXACTLY what I am dealing with now.... THANKS!
Nice easy fix. Atta boy!!!
the humming comes from the glue on the transformer plates working loose and they start rattling
Mine is doing the Same thing the light on the Circuit board is Continuous too. I hope it is just a Bad Transformer?
She wants you, Steve...
humming transformer silenced ;) Nice job
its the switching magnetic field that creates the 50/60hz sound if you think thats anoing try the big one at a sub station

I think the sound is an extra good thing
She sounded nice.

At 3:14 the drill whistled at the client.

No Filter Rack ?
Transformers only hum when they don't understand the words. That's what I tell the apprentices
lucky,he didn't give it the old gundyyyyyyyyyy, with his screwdriver,or he would have destroyed the X-former!!!
That lady look very interesting.I guess you think too.
Come on stevie take a chance on that lady she sounds real nice your dead a long time make a move man Ben uk
She seems interested in Steve and he just focused on work. Boy learn how to flirt come on gundy.
