I'm reconditioning some H7100A power supply units in a VAX-11/785, and I've come
across something I haven't seen before. I'm hoping one of you has. :)
This particular PSU was labeled 'Memory Power Supply' and has additional regulator
boards for a 15v rail. Slipped between those boards were two sheets of what looked like
heavy-duty paper. However, one had delaminated, demonstrating that it is a sheet of thin
copper sandwiched between two paper-like layers. That suggests to me that this was
intended more for EMI shielding than electrical isolation. I did not see these sheets in
another PSU that also had a supplemental regulator.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? TIA - Ian
