Andrew...I have checked this and any PWM low side switch...will see a voltage on the outside of the RCA shell when you lower the PWM output.

It doesn't matter if you wire the Vcc to the inner core...the outer shield will become Vcc with the heater output device off or at very low mark space ratios.
