I've been using two 4500VAC 400ma plate transformers pulled from copy 
machines. These transformers (GE) have an extra winding that is 
connected to a 660VAC 10uf capacitor.

Questions: What is the purpose of this capacitor? Power factor 
correction? Current limiting? What effect would result by changing or 
removing the capacitor?
