I an shielding a toroidal transformer using a silicon steel band that wraps around the transformer. Avel Lindberg provided me with this band.

I am planning on using a circular metal clamp that goes around the band to secure the shield to the transformer. I also plan to attach a wire from the shield to the star ground point.

The shield will only connect to ground at the star point.

Am I on track here?

Should be no harm in that. The band is primarily a mag field shaper but no harm in having it be an electrical shield as well. The currents shold be quite small, but starring is usually not a bad idea.
