Thanks Terry

I hope it is better than a NST, the secondary wire is heaver than a NST
, no centertap but I think I could add one if needed as it has two
windings and one output post on each winding , they are tied together
with a wire and that is where I think a center tap would be. It was a HV
supply transformer from a laser unit.

Hi rich,

The filter was only designed for NSTs and their problems.  Assuming your

transformer is basically better than an NST, then just safety gaps
should
be fine.

Cheers,
