Filters & Chokes



Hi

I am in the designing stages of my Tesla coil.

I am having difficulty in finding comprehensive and consistent information
in the design of a filter or choke system to protect my NST (10kV 50mA 240V
50Hz)

Some pages say to avoid chokes due to inductive spikes, others outline RC
filters but with no explaination of the LCR values.

Any help or pointers much appreciated!

...Also, is it OK to use a cheapo 400W light-switch dimmer to control the
input voltage to the NST?

Thanks


Neil
