goodman Cpkj60-1c Reversing valve

[mastercheif602]

I had my dad ac go out this weekend. The tansformer was burnt out. Replaced it and then started the unit. It is a Five ton heat pump. The unit would not go into cool as the valve would not move over. Then I smelled burning. The tansformer was getting hot, then the unit stopped. I let it cool down and went out side to check the uint. It came back on when I removed the power to the coil on the reversing valve. Has any one had the coil on the valve take out a tanformer. :eek: The Tansformer is 40 va big enought for this unit.

thats what happens when it is not protected by fuses,your transformer out put is like your power supply but it is protected i hope by the like

[mastercheif602]

it is fused on the incoming power only. But you have seen that happen?

no different than 240v on primary 240v on secondary used say as an isolation transformer running fan motors. yes i have seen it had to replace a $350 tranny because $2 inline fuse was not fitted to fan motor wiring.
