Malcolm,
My theory is to clean it up before it gets to the transmission line thus
reducing RFI. Using the coax shield grounded at the TC end only as
additional precautions. I assume only the HV transformer the resides
at the supply side and all else is at the base of the TC. A second safety
gap at the transformer is not a bad idea though.
Sorry to be so unclear, literacy was the price i paid for a very colorful
youth.
