50 watt blowing mains fuse

[whopperplate]

Hello everyone,

I finally put together my 50 watt super lead that I had been lagging on completing, but I am running into issues and blowing the mains fuse instantly upon fire up.

After reading previous posts on This issue I disconnected first the first filter capicitor after the bridge rectifier and still blew the mains fuse. I then disconnected the AC secondaries from the bridge rectifier and still blew the mains fuse.

According to what I have read the assumed problem would be the power transformer, but it is a brand new ****** transformer and i have nevertheless powered it up until now...

Scratching my head.... Hopefully anyone can possible chime in with some help. I don’t know how to posts pics on here, but I do have them.

Thank you all

Charlie
