Hi everyone,
I'm having issues with a control transformer (120V to 24V). Our conveyor system is set up to protect against product jam-ups through a probe fault system. If product hits a probe (metal rod) it shorts the probe to the frame of the conveyor (ground), and ground then brings the voltage over the relay to 0V, which de-energizes the coil.
What's actually happening now is I get ~6VAC from ground to 24V neutral. When a probe hits the frame (or I jumper ground to the probe circuit) the coil stays energized. Can I tie 24V neutral to 120V neutral, and would that solve my problem? Or since this started occurring recently should I suspect the transformer went bad and needs to be replaced?
Thanks,
Mark
