Hello all
I'd like to remove the bell chime from my hallway prior to decorating and struggling to work out how. It's connected to a transformer, which is under the consumer unit. Pics of both attached.
First question is - when I flip the breaker for the bell to off, my voltage detector is still detecting voltage at the bell chime (no batteries that I can see) but not at the transformer itself. Why would that be?
More generally, how do I go about disconnecting the chime from the transformer and is it safe to leave the transformer connected to the consumer unit after.
I was planning to open up the transformer to grab a pic of the wiring but I've been put off because the chime still has a current and not sure why or what that means.
Thanks!
