This hotline Gemini electric fencer was sent in by a customer for repair. At first I just thought it was an SCR problem, as it wasn’t discharging at all, but just whistling. This means it’s making the high voltage (the fly back is whistling), but isn’t discharging it. I removed the SCR and it tested ok, so I traced the fault to the trigger transistor which triggers the mosfet gate. Once this was replaced it was back working. The output was very low though, so next the output transformer was replaced, after tweaking the pots for the output I was about to get it to 9.3kv , so ready to be deployed back into the field again.
