    Repair a site transformer ?

    I'm repairing a 110 v 3 kva site transformer that the base cracked and all the sand leaked out, can anyone tell me exactly what the sand is there for and can I replace it with any dry sand or even just leave it out? The transformer won't be used on site but at home.

    Testing an Old motor for restoration ?

    I have acquired an old British Thompson Houston 1/3 HP BKS 2410 single phase motor on a pillar drill, it needs new bearings before I can test run it, my question is can I use a multi meter to check the windings and find out if its a go-er at this stage and worth restoring ? If so how ?

    110 v site transformer repair ?

    I was given a couple of 3 kva site transformers, both have broken bases and all the sand has leaked out, epoxying a new base on is no problem, and I will only be using them myself at home, but what kind of sand should I refill them with ?

    Hair clippers refuse to run properly.

    I've gone and bought rechargeable clippers now, I would be interested to know if the output voltage of cheapo Chinese inverters can be adjusted though.

    Inverters running freezer

    I have a large 240v freezer running off a 12 v solar battery bank via an inverter, I would like to have a small backup inverter for the freezer that will cut in if the main one fails, and save all my food. Any one tell me how to do this please ?

    Wiring series parallel battery bank ?

    Sorry don't know why the thread appeared twice. What would be the correct battery to battery connections cable size ? I don't even pull 10 amps out of the bank, and the 500 w max output of the panels is never even remotely achieved.
