how do i sheeld a normal EI transformers magnetic feild from audio circuits within a metal rack cace?



would a sheet of metal over them work or is there a better way?



thankyou ppl


i dunt no. i carn say mor sinz my sPell chequer is bursted

It's difficult/expensive to shield from magnetic fields. Best options are:

  • use a good transformer with minimum leakage (toroid)
  • distance: keep it further away from circuitry of interest
  • layout: keep the loop area of sensitive circuits small.

Clifford Heath.

You get shielding from electric fields, but very little effect on the magnetic fields. You need lots of magnetically "soft" metal to shield from magnetic fields.

** Wrap a copper strap around the thing - in the same direction as the windings - and solder the trap up. For good measure, wrap a few turns of strip lamination from a discarded toroidal tranny and tape or tie it tight.
** Barely has any effect.

Sensible PCB track and wiring layout is the best idea.

I'm beginning to suspect that this 'crazy frog' bloke is a bit of a plonker.
