Te> I've been using two 4500VAC 400ma plate transformers pulled from copy
Te> machines. These transformers (GE) have an extra winding that is
Te> connected to a 660VAC 10uf capacitor.
Te> Questions: What is the purpose of this capacitor? Power factor
Te> correction? Current limiting? What effect would result by changing or
Te> removing the capacitor?
