Testing of drossel filter

Ben22 2 days ago

As above really can any one give an idea on the testing of this filter to confirm if faulty, never come across this type of filter,

There was a gel type substance on the damaged one which caused some skin irritation but I want to prove it is faulty electrically ,

Short end p-n 0Mohm on each end -

If I understand you right, that means live is shorted to neutral internally and you have an educational paper weight...

Do not try to use it.

Yeh so just to clarify testing on the short ends (not across the the filter) I get that 0Mohm reading on insulation resistance , this would make sense why the PCB burnt out too with a dead short across a L/N

Is the PCB upstream or downstream of the filter?
