Thanks for the quick reply. I noticed the original design had both H1-H3 and H2-H4 tied together, perhaps start by separating those. So, "one of the very first steps to do", ohm out between pri and sec sides? And in theory, after all this is electrical, when measuring voltage from sec sides to house ground should be 0v or is a little leakage acceptable? Appreciate the advice and avoiding the sparks. Thanks
