The green coloured 3-phase trafo shown has an iron core, so would not work efficiently at very high frequencies as its designed for grid frequency working. High frequency transformers of the type used in switched-mode power supplies have ferrite cores. The size is not the governing factor, its the core material. Having said that, TK may have discovered or been told about a way of using this 3-phase transformer in an unconventional way.

Agreed. It's the lack of heat from the aquarium 2 that is puzzling. I think it's a big clue.

I'm not sure whether the following question has already been answered: Did the investigating team clamp meter the braided earth wire and if so what reading did they get?

No readings were taken.

Thanks for your reply.

This is a very interesting link just posted on the Dally thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSadMqEnO7I

Might make some sense of the use of a 3-phase transformer.

Here the one and only three-phase capacitor is hard-wired in delta-formation. So there is not too much choice in the method of connection. All three secondaries of the transformer next to it are open (N/C) but configured in star-formation. Hence there is a certain chance that the three connected primaries are also in star-formation. That leads to the wiring assumption below.

Now connect the remaining transformer (two cable lugs here are also N/C) and maybe a few diodes (Avramenko plugs) to that arrangement.
