370BX bolts (on Cornet2)
« on: 27 Aug 2011, 02:03 pm »
I've just noticed that the 370BX transformer on my Cornet2 has the bell ends secured via 3 bolts which are insulated from the laminations and 1 shorter bolt which is not insulated.  Is this normal or do I have something wrong with the uninsulated bolt?

Thanks

Can someone with a Cornet2 take a look at their mains transformer and tell me whether all 4 bolts passing through the laminations have nylon insulators between the bolts and the TX?

Cheers,

Only 3 insulated on both my Cornet 2's.

The uninsulated one has the grey grounding wire attached.

Good idea to run this wire inside to the common ground point as describe in numerous posts here.

Fixed hum issue with both my Cornets.
