	When isolated from the supply: Continuity of the windings. Continuity between live and neutral. Resistance between windings and Earth. When on-load: Current. Compare the measured current with the rated full-load current. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
