Hello there,
I was wondering if anyone ever did this before, but i am sure some did, and that is the best way to remove the shunts.
I got as far as hacking off the 2kv secondary and removing all the turns, tested, and now i want to remove the two shunts for further testing.
When i took off the secondary i was very careful not to damage the primary because i dont want to have to rewind that. That's teh most important
point about doing this for me...dont hurt the primary.
What i see though is that the two shunts are mounted right on top of the secondary, and they are probably varnished in place. I am worried that if i knock out the two shunts (tapping them with a drift punch and hammer to push them out of the window) that the bottom edge of the shunt will pull the insulation off the primary and maybe also try to pull up the turns of wire too, possibly damaging the wire or the insulation on the wire itself.
So the big question is, did anyone here do this yet? If so, did you determine the best way to get them out without damaging the primary?
