[QUOTE="DaveS79, post: 510461, member: 28820"] Evening all Have got a little problem not come across before. Recently completed some works for a customer and while there she asked me to check out a low voltage light she has had some problems with. She said she had had an electrician round in recent past and he had twice replaced the same transformer but it had blown again. So thinking it most likely coincidence or dodgy cheap transformer replaced with one I usually use and have had no issues with. An LED transformer and advised her to use LED bulb which she has. Lo and behold not a week past and she has contacted me to say has blown again. I'm a bit baffled by this and not sure what would cause this. I did make the mistake of not taking loop readings, could this be causing it to blow, I presume it could. I'm pretty confident it wasn't end of line and so would imagine if this case lights further along circuit would be affected. I had 230v across both L-E and L-N. Any help appreciated like I say baffled.com Thanks [/QUOTE]
