Default WTD: HV Xformer

Why should the shunt be removed? I have never seen one on there, but why
should I remove it if I see it?

The HV winding on these is always grounded to the frame, but it's usually
very clear where the ground point is and it's not difficult to lift. I
would be reluctant to do this, though, because I am not sure how well the
interior is insulated.
