Ideal 4180 Paper Gulilotine stopped working. Changed fuse in the 230v > 24v transformer. A relay started buzzing on the PCB upstream. Thought it was a damaged relay so I replaced it for like.
Tested output on transformer and was only outputting 8v. Replaced the transformer for like also. Output is 31v and relay still buzzing.
What I'm confused about is that the relays on the PCB are DC but the old transformer and new transformer both output AC, how did the old transformer work as it was manufactured like this? There is nothing between the transformer and PCB to change the current.
The PCB is rectangular with a relay on either side with 3 capacitors in the middle. Between the relays and the edge of the board there are two diodes on each side.
Images below are the old Transformer next to the new transformer and the PCB
Any help would be appreciated.
