Lightning protect circuit for fence please show

[@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity]

Thanks for the question, but I don't have it. They use MOV's and diodes to help protect the circuit.

@@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity Thanku sir

Where did you get those shiny new capacitors?

[@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity]

I buy them here in the states from a company.

Hi, i have a m1501 which looks very similar to this unit.(Although it is 240v) . I've got low output (1.4kv). I've replaced capacitors and no improvement. I suspect transformer is bad too. Do you know if the transformer in mine would be the same as this model? Im in nz and Gallagher themselves said they don't support these old models any more so wondering if its worth trying to fix stil?

[@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity]

The transformer is what spikes up the voltage, so that's what your issue is. There's a different transformer that we install in those, a custom built one made here in the States, but we're currently out of them. They're $60 part, which is way cheaper than buying a new unit, but we're currently waiting on the manufacturer to make them. They're a custom transformer manufacturer with lots of customers of custom built stuff, so we all have to wait our turn in production lines.

@@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity thanks for the info. I am wondering about trying to rewind it myself. I figure I don't have anything to lose except some time and a small cost for wire. Have you ever looked at rewinding yourself?

[@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity]

@@MrKunu86 No I'm not that smart at wanting to do it, plus I'm way too busy. Plus the transformer is encased in an epoxy and I don't have the space set aside for a rewinding set up. If you're able to do it, that would be neat to see the process if you made a video and uploaded it to KZbin.

@@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity well I pulled the transformer out and managed to get it out of the plastic case but as you said it was completely encased in resin so I have put it in the too hard basket. I will keep an eye out for a second hand unit for parts. Thanks for the info!
