i see what you mean but these electronic transformers; how do you pick up a reading? have you tried? since the multimeters obv dont work

anything that draws a current is a load aint it?

Thanks steve, yes i read that output is 44khz vs normal 50hz. So that makes sense why i got no reading and perhaps why i picked up both were live with neon as that is a load? I will try changing both transformers just in case there was a systematic problem with the location that has damaged them.

Voltage on out put minimal <1v; i am no electrician obviously! but i always thought potential was difference between two voltages, one is normally zero, but does not have to be

240ish

you are right mr 11 sorry

Have 2 mr11 halogens in parallel on circuit with transformers above each bulb. Neither are working, despite changing and testing bulbs in circuit nearby. With neon screwdriver i was surprised to see both the blue and brown wires out of transformer were live. (as they were on the working...
