Transformer
The PowerDrive battery charger transformer has two sets of coils: a primary coil and a secondary coil
(Figure 3-11, Page 3-13)
.
Primary Coil
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Disconnect the black wires marked 1 and 6 from the AC circuit breakers.
4. Disconnect the wires marked 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the voltage selector switch.
5. Place the continuity tester probes on the primary coil transformer wires disconnected above in pairs until
all of the combinations in the following chart have been tested.
6. If the continuity readings agree with the chart, replace the voltage selector switch. If the continuity read-
ings differ from the chart, replace the transformer.
Secondary Coil
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Remove the transformer (tan) secondary coil wire from the upper terminal of the heatsink
(Figure 3-11,
Page 3-13)
.
4. Remove the other transformer (tan) secondary coil wire from the bottom terminal of the heatsink and
place the continuity test clip on the ammeter buss bar
(Figure 3-12, Page 3-17)
. Test for continuity
between the buss bar and each of the secondary coil wires (tan). The tester should indicate continuity
on both secondary coil wires. If tester does not indicate continuity on both secondary coil wires, replace
transformer. Ensure that the fuse is intact and not blown.
