I am misunderstood. I never used the tem Faraday cage. I understand the
Faraday cage to be a completely shielded enclosure which could be a
metal automobiole body, a steel rebar reinforced concrete structure or a
screened room. These all tend to completely block both the E-field and
the H-field components of an electromagnetic wave.

I gave an example of the metal rakes (Faraday screens) used at the
medium wave broadcast plants where I worked. The function of the Faraday
screen was primarily to eliminate capacitive cooupling, and thus the
E-field between the transmission line and the antenna. This reduces
harmonic radiation. It adds expense and complexity but is worth the
price for lightning suppression if for nothing else.

Most Faraday screens are used at powerline
frequencies to eliminate capaacitive coupling between primary and
secondary of a power transformer.

I checked the internet for a recent posting and found an article by
who wrote: "Beware, this cannot be an
auto-transformer. It must be a transformer with two completely isolated
windings, and with a Faraday Screen wound between the two."

Why would one pay a lot of extra money for a transformer which
eliminated capacitive coupling if it didn`t work, especially in Havana,
Cuba?
