No wiring diagrams only these 2 pages and the invoice , its the same as the old Transformer that was in so I put the wires in the same contacts
Light switch reversed after transformer blew in the ceiling
- Thread starter picklepass
- Start date
Fair enough - I can't find any sensible instructions on-line, either. Are there any markings on the cover of the transformer? If so, could we see a piccie of it?
Kind Regards, John
Looking at a picture of the transformer.
Sec is on the left 11.4v no cable markings
Prim is on the right - N on the left and L on the right.

Comparing this to what the OP has stated earlier - he has wired this end correctly.

Ah, yes - but on reflection, I don't suppose that any of us would have believed that the light would work with it wired back to front!
I think that I've got to the stage that it appears that everything is fine and that I simply cannot believe that the 'switch transformation' actually occurred, unless the switch was somehow 'touched' (switch inverted or L1/L2 swap) without the OP knowing. Nothing else would make any sense.

I have attended a kitchen where the householder had wired the transformers up BTF..... apparently, there was, to quote him, "one f**k of a bang!"
Quite - that's the most likely outcome one might expect. The second most likely would, I suppose, be a much quieter 'plop' (or no sound at all), if it's protected in some way. ... but to put 230V into the output and get something out of the input that could satisfactorily operate a 12V lamp .... no way

The transformer has overload and surge protection on it does this help

Ban.....Are you bored?
Ban.....Are you bored?
It is a very odd thread (about what I'm increasingly coming to suspect is a 'non-problem'), but I think that BAS's piccies are (or, at least, may be) unjustified.Dunno. Ban.....Are you bored?

The snail snd the troll pics were ignored as I thought there was no need for them , if hes bored leave the conversation
As I wrote, I agree.
It's hardly a matter of 'leaving the conversation'. If I recall correctly, apart from asking a question on page 1, he hasn't contributed at all!...if hes bored leave the conversation
Kind Regards, John
Anyway thanks John for all your help
