Based on "theory", all transfromers will hold a charge due to the design of the windings, but the smaller the transformer, the smaller the hazard. Before you go throwing insults around next time spend some time learning a little theory yourself.

I'm well aware of the capacitor like properties of a winding, thanks. Please don't let our little argument make you leave the board again, LOL.

Then why would you say "How can someone have such limited knowledge of electrical theory to think that a transformer needs discharging"?

You are just covering your tracks and you know it. You owe the OP an apology, but he left and went to Mike Holts forum where guys like you get booted.

I did not know transformers acted like capacitors. I have been told to ground HV before touching it. Seemed reasonable enough for me. How much of a charge can a little secondary voltage transformer hold?
