Default Re: Mains Transformer Question

As long as you don't create any shorted turn by doing so, yes.

Essentially, don't do any conductive wrapping that passes through a winding window.

I once saw the results of an earth wire neatly routed through between two of the limbs of a 3-phase transformer by an inexperienced production technician! The TX won, whilst it hummed happily to itself.
