In Reply to: Proper primary winding AC polarity orientation? What the ding dong? posted by Geoffkait on April 18, 2025 at 14:22:18:
Charles Hansen:
"Reversed AC polarity -- All power transformers have an inherent asymmetry to their construction. The primary winding comprises multiple layers, so that one lead is connected to the innermost windings and the other lead is connected to the outermost windings. This means that one lead has a higher coupling capacitance to the core of the transformer. Please remember that the AC supply is also asymmetrical, with the neutral lead essentially being at ground potential (assuming there is not a fault in the house wiring). The result is that one orientation will give a higher AC leakage current to the chassis of the amp (and worse sound) than the other orientation."

- That's a completely separate issue. I'm referring to the wire itself. All wire. Nt - Geoffkait 03:00:39 04/19/25 (10)
