SB-610 Experience

[Peter A Markavage]

Has anyone considered a small low current fuse or a fusible link in
series with one of the secondary high voltage leads. Given that exact
replacement power transformers are not readily available and since the
high voltage secondary winding can be under a lot of stress, due to
component aging or leaky or possible shorting of the .15 mfd capacitors,
some means should be provided to protect the HV secondary. I seem to
recall running across computer monitors and some small portable TV's that
used fuse links to protect their HV secondaries.
