I added a filtered IEC socket to a transformer I was checking last week. Immediate burning smell. Quickly unplugged. I was surprised that the solder had started to melt on the socket terminals and the metal case was almost too hot to touch. I forget the make. I never encountered it before. The transformer was fine, but didn't have the o/p voltage I wanted. I write the tested o/p volts on the transformers before putting them away with a permanent marker.
