G'day folks,
I've read alot on the site and learnt heaps, but now have a problem with my SWG.
A few years back it died - ended up being the bridge wave rectifier. Replaced that, worked fine for a few years.
Now it runs for a few minutes, then blows the fuse. Replace the fuse, blows again.
I bought a 2nd hand unit (controller & transformer) on ebay, swapped the transformer - same problem. Swapped the controller - same problem.
It appears that the cell might be faulty (it's OLD) but I would have thought when the cell goes faulty is would lose it's coating and the current would decrease, however it seems to be an excessive current blowing the fuse.
Any ideas or similar experiences?
Anybody know of where to get a circuit diagram for these units?
Thanks
MLML
