Tom,
Both grounds? I have both secondaries connected together with welding
cable and grounded from the center point of that cable. When I
disconnect the ground the two secondaries are still tied together at
their bases. I guess I wasn't specific enough in the last post. The
system barely operates when the ground is disconnected. I also use a
primary for each secondary and tie them together through transmission
lines to a common tank circuit.
