Hi,
I have been reading about the Power Transformer Copper Flux Bands, like the one in the photo below.
My question is: why do some Power Transformers have them and some don't? I noticed a couple of my Dagnall Power Transformers from the 70's have them but my Drakes from the 80's don't. I also noticed Chris Merren makes transformers with the copper flux band, but Brian Wallace, Heyboer, Hammond, Mercury and most others don't.
Have any of you installed them and did it make a difference in noise reduction? Am I safe to assume it is not need?
Thanks,
J
