If your AC at home isn’t cooling or keeps tripping, the small transformer inside might be the issue. It’s not too tricky to check, but do it safely.

First, turn off the main power—always stay safe.

Next, find the transformer, usually near the indoor unit’s control board.

Use a simple multimeter. Check the input voltage—that’s the power coming in. It should match what’s written on the transformer’s label. Then check the output side—this should give you the lower voltage the AC needs for controls and display. If there’s no output, the transformer’s likely gone.

Look for burn marks or a smell of burnt plastic too—clear signs something’s wrong.

If you’re not sure, don’t poke around too much. Call a trusted AC service or local electrician. Brands like Voltas, Daikin, and Blue Star usually have service teams who know how to handle this without guesswork.

For bigger units in factories or commercial buildings, you’ll need more than a quick check—regular servicing and testing are a must to avoid sudden breakdowns. That’s where companies like Jindal Electric & Machinery Corporation quietly help plant owners keep their power and HVAC units running smooth.

Can you substitute 12V. AC 40va Transformer for 12V. AC 1000ma. Home service-out door fountain?

Yes, the output current of a 40va transformer at 12 volts is 3.33 amps. The replaced unit had an output of 1 amp making it a 12va transformer. By doing this exchange there will be three times the capacity of the new transformer over the old transformer.
