Guest Deryck Tintagel Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 A friend has contacted me about his Veritas Excel. Apparently, the mains transformer is humming. I will not be able to look at it until next week but in the meantime does anyone else have experience of the transformer humming? I guess that this may be a replacement job but do Texecom supply just the transformer or is it a complete panel change? It will be under manufacturer's warranty. Thanks

bellman Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 The Veritas is well renowned for the singing transformer. Stud walls and them don't mix very well at all. Try a SMALL drop of silicone inbetween transformer and housing. This works well to muffle the sound. Also, as was suggested above, isolate the panel from the wall with rubber washers or grommets.

norman Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 As Rich say's usually its the 4 tranny screws just work loose and you'll find the noise will all but stop on tightening. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

breff Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Usually can be cured by tightening transformer screws, common problem. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
Guest ALSEC Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Damn this topic, I'm sat in my living room and now I can hear the damn Veritas transformer in the Hallway!!!!! Haven't got round to changing the panel since we moved in - i'd got used to the hum and now you lot have made me more aware of it than ever before!!!! Thanks guys......
