![]() The TV, clock, etc. are not unloaded like the transformer I asked about. I don't know if it is safe to leave an unloaded transformer plugged in, so I asked. I placed a resistive load across the transformer to keep a slight load across it, but not being sure if this is OK or not, I decided to unplug the transformer for safety. Look at it this way, there are millions of unloaded door bell transformers in the US. The only time they are activated (loaded) is for about 2 seconds when someone rings the bell. Mine usually rings once a week for pizza and a couple of times for visitors. The transformers will draw a slight ammount of current so you may save a dollar or two each year if you unplug it. |
