Ever tried shorting the secondary side? However be warned that this requires low voltages only. kman

Open 240V leads and connecting the 6V side to a higher AC voltage (50V?) could cause sparks on the primary coil and damage the insulation. (Be careful - high voltage)

I've seen many equipment transformers fail becasue the equipment got wet and was energized before it was thoroughly dried out. I think a turn or 2 shorts and that's it, bye-bye, with no marks!
