 ground, just at the moment when the old paper insulation decids to let go!
 
 I float all my HV filter chokes, modulation transformers and modulation 
 reactors above ground.  There is simply no good reason to subject the 
 internal insulation to that additional high voltage stress.

For short term transmitting and what have you..you could get by with 
this.However I have seen where somebody did float their 
chokes,transformers,and reactors and it caused a fire in a commerical 
operation. Luckly somebody was right there to put the fire out..otherwise it 
would have resulted in a total loss of equipment.
