Can I remove the covers from this transformer so that I can mount it flat
from the 4 holes on the core instead of standing up with the feet on it?

Thanks

 

Probably.

 

Hello,

It can be that the covers make up a magnetic shielding.
If you do not need that, the covers can be removed.

Some equipment manufacturers did so routinely - as others stated; the magnetic field could give you a few difficulties.

Not running wiring across the bobbin usually works, but you may have to put in tinplate partitions to protect any sensitive circuitry nearby.

 

Is there a reason to remove shield caps ?

 

Yes, why do you need to remove the covers to bolt it using the transverse holes?

Enclosure is not tall enough for the transformer to stand up in. I had this one on hand so thought would take the covers off if I could, instead of buying another transformer.
