unclestu,
There is about 6" between the transformers center hole and the inside casework of the rear panel. The backside (wire connection side) of the IEC inlet is about 1/2" from the transformers plastic jacket. The transformer measures 5 1/2" in diameter, yielding 1/2" clearence. That said, would it be better to have 5 1/2" steel discs, top and bottom or 5 3/4" steel disks, the extra hangover would/should pick up some of the residual periphery magnetism and keep it from effecting the surrounding storage caps. I could of course get 2 of each and use a 5 1/2" top or bottom and a 5 3/4" and use that top or bottom. I'm not really concerned about clearence, as much as, the possibility of arcing, should the clearence be insufficient.
