Fuse Replacement If the control circuit voltage drops to zero volts, the control power transformer fuses
(Figure 5-7) should be inspected. If a fuse is opened, perform the following steps:
1. Check for line-to-ground short circuit condition and repair if necessary.
2. Check control wiring and control devices (timers, relays, terminal blocks, wire
terminations, etc.) for signs of damage, overheating, or loose connections and
repair if necessary.
3. Replace the fuse with the same fuse class, type, rating and interrupting
capacity.
