Ahh, youngn's. ;) Meggers are everywhere.
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]
Not a term that I've heard of. Sounds like swearing to my ears. :-) [ lest anyone think I am actually advocating cruelty
to animals, I am
not really suggesting such a thing; we do like our cats, and I'm sure
our child will prove far more destructive than any cat in time ]
I suppose such disclaimers ARE probably necessary on this list. Very sad.
One of my beloved purring beasts, Kramer, destroyed quite a bit of
stuff with pee when he first came to adopt me. I very nearly twisted
his head off. It stopped IMMEDIATELY and PERMANENTLY, uncannily so,
after The Big Snip(tm). Balls on cats are very bad things.
