Hey All,

I have a 15/60 nst that has a "Secondary Ground Fault Protection" on it.  
Since this will not work with a tesla coil I decided to de-pot it.  After a 
couple weeks, the transformer is finally out of its case.  Now, the question 
is what all does a normal nst (no protection stuff) consist of.  I am asking 
this because I dont know exactly what to do to bypass the SGFP.  Is it just 
straight forward line-voltage to primary coil or do non-protected nst's have 
some kind of circuit in them, because this particular nst has a prinited 
curcuit board with capacitors, resisters, etc.  I'm hoping all I have to do 
is bypass this curcuit but that seems too easy, therefore, my reason for 
writing to the list.  Another thing, what is the best thing to use in 
re-potting the nst.

All comments are very welcome
Thanks everyone,
Lance
