I'm hoping you don't mean the isolation of center rail from inside loop to outside loop when using 2 separate TIU channels.

Remember- this is bad. As a rule- never have a situation where the 2 output channels of a TIU see both center rail and outer rail connected at the same time (the big red line in the below drawing). Just reusing a drawing from a previous discussion of someone shorting on their layout not just 2 channels of the TIU- but also the transformer.

No,

This as opposed to my first method:

NOTE:  Although not shown the layout has two taps on each loop not one which are located at the curved ends of each loop.

Thanks,
