You would only need a spark gap across your RSG if you wanted to
protect it from HV spikes.

Insulating materials inside capacitors and transformers are not fond
of super-high kickbacks from a TC primary, so to clamp those
kickbacks, safety gaps are used.

It would be weird to put a safety gap across a spark gap....

The TC webring has a ton of power controller schem's on it.

Take care,
