| Jul 2 at 18:30 | comment | added | Justme | @wgthompson If there are other paths of current between the points you measure than the transformer then you are not measuring the transformer and measurement is incorrect. | |
| Jul 2 at 18:25 | comment | added | wgthompson | even an inductor measurement in series would be useless? | |
| Jul 2 at 18:23 | comment | added | Justme | @wgthompson You cannot measure inductors or transformers in-circuit. At least unless you know what the circuit looks like of you can. So your measurements are useless and don't mean anything about the transformer. | |

| Jul 2 at 18:19 | comment | added | wgthompson | I have not removed it .. if the inductor was in series I didnt believe it was necessary .. but it turns out it may not even be an inductor | |
