Come on IanB, this is the beginner section FFS!

Yes, this is common and is caused by capacitive coupling between the windings.

I tought maybe the tranformers where to close to one another...
They are cheap too : 10$ each.


I like that:  "Yes, this is common and is caused by capacitive coupling between the windings."

When I read the thread title, I pictured the "Ass to Ass" scene from Requiem for a Dream, only with transformers. Reading the thread left me disappointed and unfulfilled.
