Just so I know exactly what you mean, can you please indicate this on a schematic?
Perhaps I didn't think that through; i.e. if R2a is removed, where does the second FG lead (the iso transformer secondary) connect to? So forget about that question. You could test it I suppose with the lead hanging open (and R2a removed), but its doubtful there will be any output then. The phase angle measurement is less accurate with that many cycles on screen, so here are 3 scopeshots.
The phase can be taken/noted when in close, before widening to a high number of screen cycles. First, with a small number of cycles so you can see the phase angle more accurately, then the large number of cycles, and the complete data dump for that last one. You can "do the math" yourself....
What happened to the 4.6mW? It is now indicating 22mW. Is the Pout still 12mW? (Rigol uses the word "average" instead of "mean" but they are the same thing numerically.)
I know, and I knew that you would know. I assume you mean when everything is disconnected and both windings are left floating at the non-dot ends, with capacitance meter connected to the dot ends. The capacitance measured this way is 2.19 nF.
Yes, I meant when they are both floating. Thanks. You might wish to try replacing the PBF with a 2.2nF cap and repeating the tests.
