Mains transformer core is earthed?
« on: Yesterday at 07:31:12 am »
Hi,
Is the core of this isolation transformer earthed?

Earth goes into it...do you know what that earth connects to?
& Why is it so noisy when its switched ON, even with its secondary open?
(ie noisy electrically to other equipment plugged in on the same phase, making it malfunction)

My guess is that there is a shield between primary and secundary windings that is earthed. I have a 2A isolation transformer and you can realy hear the dumph when it is powered on. The magnatising current with it's mgnetic field is my guess.
