New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

Can you take a resistance measurement at the coil that you do not have continuity? If you put your multimeter at continuity scale you get a bazing sound of a reading only if resistance is low,I think up to 10 ohm but I am not sure if it is a little higher or change between the brands of the meters,if resistance is higher you have to take a measurement with the ohmmeter.

I've ordered another transformer, will check the existing transformer though

It's 50v per output core

I hope there's no issue going oversized with a 1000va transformer but I didn't realise they had 625va one and this was 1/2 price same make as rapid.

Saved enough cash on the transformer that I just managed to buy a new AM882 as well with fast shipping.

Normal version not am882h.

One good bit of news the new parallel port card came I fitted it and parport recognises it so linuxcnc should at least work and I bet mach 3 does to.




I got it wrong before there's no continuity between blue and grey OR violet and brown but there is continuity between grey and violet I guess this means both thermal fuses are blown.

One question about the new transformer I know I wire on the input side the brown and blue to the mains, the grey and violet together as before. On the output I wire the orange to the black and the yellow to the red then wire them to the the rectifier is that correct?

Would wiring a 5amp plug fuse to the PSU input give some protection to without tripping out in normal usage?
