Original poster: "Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Yes, but there is no assumption. D.C. said "as the interior side of primary is at X1 (grounded) potential". That indicates, connecting X1 to ground. That is clear. I would however clarify ground as RF ground. I've been running this connection on my pig ever since David discussed with me a few years ago.
This is not something that can be done with an NST system where the hv winding is center-tap grounded. But, with a depotted NST, the center-tap to ground connection can then be removed and run the same way to minimize pri to sec stress.

Otherwise it could make the situation worse?-Phil LaBudde
