Even when the laminations and windings are tight, magnetostriction can produce a lot of sound. A 'varnished' transformer can be potted in 'rubber' to absorb the vibrations. Mounting requirements and wire sizes are design issues.

The 900 Hz noise of which Morris is mentioning is 'most likely' being caused by physical vibration of the lamination's within one or more of the transformers, and there is not much that can be done about it, if I am correct. But I'll wait and see along with the rest of us as to what Morris has to say about it. Ira. On 7/15/2014 6:21 AM, Oscilloclock wrote: > Morris that is truly awesome.
