Transformer for Combo Vac

[Earl Weiss]

Need to replace 24V Transformer for Coleman Combo Vac.

Seems KR carries various transformers - some with stated VA, some without.

Reccomendations?

A 40 VA is plenty. I use these:

Transformers usually last pretty much forever. If you have a failed one, most likely it was shorted on the 24v side. Get a new one at least the same VA as existing and a fuse on the load side or install an inline fuse on the load side that will burn before the internal non replaceable fusible link fries inside your new transformer.

Nope.

Transformers fail all the time when they aren't shorted.

Transformers in Coleman vacs are well protected. There is no fusible link in most small transformers.

Agreed, this is the the original on a unit 20+ years old.
