It has occured to me that I really should be wearing a respirator
of some kind. Hantavirus is nothing to laugh at.
I would strongly recommend 'meggering' the
transformer after giving it a
preliminary clean-up. If you've got insualtion troubles, it may not be
worth doing anything more with it.
[Does the term 'megger' mean anything across the Pond? Over here it's a
common term (actually a trade name that's become generic) for a
high-voltage insulation tester]
It's not a term I'm familiar with, but that doesn't necessarily mean
anything! Google filled me in, though, and I agree it's a good idea.
See, I've already learned something valuable from this!
