Resistive load, current clamp--what?


Almost certainly a design problem. Heath was not exactly known to use
the highest quality parts in the first place. I suspect that it's a matter
of insulation breakdown on the high voltage winding, so that a PTO
thermistor in series with the primary to reduce inrush current won't
help much.
