Hehe, Looks like a transformer went rocket. If I may add this little note about your power source.

Shielding and grounding your devices with metal box, foil, etc... will protect your devices from outside EMP. But if you want to protect also your power source coming out from the outlet, and if you can afford it, you can buy a power source filter. It will filter all sort of "noise" coming from inside your electrical power to make sure you have a perfect sinusoidal wave (alternative 120V 50/60Hz).

Look for this type of filter for your electrical source: http://www.directindustry.com/prod/l...95-214549.html there expensive, but you may find some more cheaper. Of course, you need a technician to install these.

Namaste, Steven
