Anyone have any experience with the full load to no load variation on the output of an Austin transformer wired for 230VAC on the output side?
I've got a location where the techs claim the output voltage is up to 275VAC on the output side, and is said to be burning out the tower lights rather fast. To clarify, they've not put in any new bulbs since the last failure and this is the reading without any load.
I've asked them to try to check the voltage unloaded and loaded down, perhaps with a pair of beacon bulbs, to verify there is a regulation problem.
We relamped the towers where this problem is occurring some time back and two of the towers have no problems, only the third tower has this problem.
I don't have ready access to the location, and trying to work on this somewhat remotely.
I realize this isn't a lot of information, but all that I have at the moment.
