|    Re: Measuring Transformer Coils - Bullsh    |

      From: info@turneraudio.com.au              There IS BULLSHIT at this link about measuring resistance of tranny       windings.       Just ignore ignore it all.       Using any kind of meter on any tranny does no temporary or permanent harm to       properties of windings or core.              ** Really ?              Bet you have never even seen an amorphous steel core or worked much with       microphone transformers that use materials like mu-metal.                     OK, 99% of ppl here will never have experience with fancy core materials where       a small amount of Idc used to measure coil resistance may upset the magnetic       properties.              For everyone here, transformers they encounter have GOSS or NOSS cores with /       without air gaps and tiny amounts of applied DC by meters changes nothing.              Your post indicates your shortage of knowledge on the subject. Please expand,       and tell us under what circumstances measurements could affect magnetic       properties.              Patrick Turner.                            ....
