    The short would have to be between the panel and the transformer.

    Since a doorbell transformer does not use much power it is most likely on a circuit with multiple outlets, furnace, etc.

    Find out what else is on that circuit and start your process of elimination.

    Good luck.

    Nope.

    Those are energy limiting transformers.
